Mate, he’s f**ken dead. He doesn’t care and neither should you. Were you mates? Is your life better or worse without him? Has he left you with a huge mortgage? It’s a f**ken reptile ffs
You said he was dangerous, I was just asking the panel the difference between a safe croc and a dangerous one?
And every single answer is going to be human- species centric.
And that’s my point.
We expect him to comply with human ideas of what’s safe and what’s not.
And for his horrific crime of being a crocodile, living his life, he got butchered.
He didn’t get a say as to what animal he was going to be and we didn’t even have trial process where the sanctity and value of his life and freedom of movement were able to be argued. No proper due process at all. No chance for an injunction or anything.
Summary execution to suit human leisure activities.
Carried out by people who are supposed to care about wildlife. I wouldn’t want them watching my back. That’s for sure.
Just doesn’t cut it for mine.
He wasn’t sick or in pain, there was no medical reason for his cruel and heartless end.
I can understand a person having to defend themselves from acute and proximate attack, but this was a couple of wildlife warrants and some sicko would-be gum tree cop pulling the trigger.
Id have handed in my badge before killing old mate.
How many zoos or wildlife parks etc did they call before killing him? An investigation is in order.
