A livestock farmer has been giving the go-ahead to set up a crocodile. Andy Johnson, 36, of oldhurst, Cambridgeshire, said he had imported eight Nile crocodiles - each around eight feet long - and planned to breed them for meat. 
Andy Johnson hopes he is the first in Britain with such a venture. 
"Crocodile meat is a small market now but i think the demands for the alternative will grow in the next few days" Andy said.
All 8 crocodiles are kept in enclosure and has had a permit from the council for the pre-historic beasts. "The enclosure's are isolated so pose no threat to the public" Andy said
"Its hard to get staff because of the difficulties getting insurance' he said.
The council have stated "Our concern is that the animals are properly looked after, that they pose no danger to the public and proper plans are in place in-case one escapes. We will carefully monitor the operation as it develops"
"The meat, is white, low fat, meat with the grain of fish. Some people say it is similiar to chicken but it's not, it tastes of croc" He said. 
The farm is also planning to open a farm shop, and every Saturday he will be allowing visitors to see his Crocs for free of charge.
