Isn't it great that sharks and crocs havn't developed a brain like ours as they would have killed all of us by now. Someone gets taken by a shark or a croc and some want to go and look for the 'culprit' and kill it off. I wonder just how many sharks have died in agony when they are hoisted to the surface, had their fins removed and dumped back in the water to die. How many crocs throughout the world are shot at by paying customers for trophies and an elevation in ego? These creatures have evolved over hundreds of millions of years, but look like being exterminated at the hands of 'intelligent' creatures like ourselves that have occupied this planet for little more than 1% of this time. There are times when I wish I didn't have a conscience and none of this would bother me.

Mike, I know EXACTLY what you mean mate. Couldn't agree with you more.
I found out today that a regular customer of mine had the misfortune of having the property that backed on to the lagoon. He had three kids run into his house in tears all sqealy and etc...
Anyway, the little tikes were told not to swim there on the day.... Afterwwards a lady came in wailing that culling needs to be brought back asap and that kids are kids etc...and how she used to swim in there...and I said to her well, that girl failed to set a good example, but she will serve as a good warning to others.
Seriously, the sheer lack of functioning brain cells, let alone THOUGHT, are absolutley degrading when you consider the fact you are biologically entwined with these mronons. Its embarassing.
Crocs have been around way too long and will continue to eat as they see fit, for as long as we continue to invade their space.
Short answer: Any crocs? Yes, GTFO.
As for trophy hunters coming from overseas for a bit of croc shooting, well, a crocs brain is very small, and very hard to hit at 50 yards and ensure a clean kill.
The result is crocs in the water, with gaping facial wounds, unable to eat and dying of starvation. Much like heroes that always take head shots at deer, and are off by a fraction. 1. That deer is spooked for life 2. Its a slow agonising painful death over a period of weeks.
They've tried relocating crocs: Once a croc was removed from the gulf of carpentaria, tagged, and released in the pacific ocean side of australia near townsville.
It circumnavigated tthe top of australia to find its way back home over 9 months (based on data collected from the tracking tag).
Unreal huh?
It pretty obvious that extinction is the only way they will cease to cause problems. And they've been avoiding that for how many million years? hahaha.

ive read that crocs in the natural environment are becoming endangered or at least more rare due to synthetic environmental estrogens, such as biphenol. This reduces the number of males as well as the size of the male penis (also increases infertility). well if your a right wing-climate change doesnt exist-kind of guy they you might want to check your own sperm or testosterone count because these by-products of plastics also affect humans.

Don't believe everything you read. The croc numbers in NT & QLD are increasing dramatically. They are regularly seen in Gladstone now which is unusual.
