01:13Honduras: Thousands of crocodiles starve after U.S. sanctions target family
About 7,500 crocodiles face starvation on a private farm in the northern Honduran town of San Manuel Cortes due to U.S. Treasury Department sanctions on one of the country's wealthiest families, Thursday.
The Rosenthal family owns the crododile farm, which encompasses 30-hectares of land and is named Cocodrilos Continental, and have been targetted over allegations of connections with drug trafficking and money laundering.
The crocodiles remain in ponds on the farm, with an estimated 200 of the animals already dying due to starvation. Skeletons and carcasses can be seen on the premises.
