There is absolutely nothing incorrect or inhumane about croc management imo. There are protocols that you don’t seem to understand.

I say this as someone that has lived in major cities south of croc areas and someone that has seen what happens first hand whilst living in croc town.

And some minister or senior officer said crocs behaviour waddling around seemed to be a threat.

Well wtf do they expect?

Does the croc have send texts to people that they’d better clear the area because he’s roaming around looking for food?

Is he expected to line up at the kiosk and buy his fish and chips there?

It’s just us putting our human values on a croc.

We are much more dangerous than him folks.

Save your outrage. Its a nothing issue in the scheme of things.

I’m just giving my opinion on it Gary.

It’s a nothing issue to you, that’s honestly all fine.

But it’s a clusterf**k to me and symbolic of the broader issue of our disconnect with nature.

It might be because I’m getting tired of the wanton destruction of Sydney’s West where I live and I’m projectIng that frustration elsewhere.

But i feel sorry for the croc. He didn’t deserve it.

Canberra is rife with Kangaroos. There is a methodically planned culling exercise that happens there to remove dominant alpha males that threaten the population. Several of them are killed most weeks.

Much more inhumane than anything I’ve seen in Croc town where they look for alternatives before killing.

Yet we have invaded their territory, not the other way around.
Humans need to be smarter.
If there is a croc in Mackay, relocate it, don't massacre it.

I can guarantee you that people in FNQ are far more connected to nature than any casual observants in southern suburbia.

Maybe, but there’s little evidence of it arising from this episode.

I think there are unanswered questions about what happened and Im calling for an investigation.

I’m in the process of writing to your environment minister in another iPhone window.

It was relocated multiple times in accordance with this plan.


Trust me on this issue. I'm very familiar with the subject.

If I consider all of the flora and fauna that we have f**ked with over many years (and continue to f**k with), injustices to crocs just don't seem as significant.

That said, I'd be happy if we didn't have to kill any of them. But the original premise that there is indiscriminate killing of crocs because locals are intolerant f**kwits is a grossly inaccurate sterotype by someone with all care and no responsibility.

We are long past the joke about the posse.

I think it needs attention Gary.

Then I know I’m doing my bit for the deceased and the environment.

If he was relocated previously, it was mucked up.

Thanks for the detailed explanation and I can understand where you are coming from.
Your marine biology experience is finally coming into play. :)
Truly though, I've no doubt you know what you are talking about.

Thanks Suity. I talk out of my arse on a lot of issues, but this one is something I know a thing or two about.
