[buttercup132]

I just saw on the news that there will be prizes going out to Australians
1rst prize is being able to SHOOT 24 crocs!
2nd prize is being able to shoot 1 croc!!!
and having the crocs turned into TROPHYS!
they also said the crocs were "KILLER" crocs


WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE!!! THE GOVERMENT IS ACTUALLY PASSING THIS!!!!!

That's disgusting! I certainly hope animal rights groups get wind of this and stage a protest. That's just not right!!

[king2005]

is it a population control???
Maybe there are so many crocs that they are hungry & attacking everything & moving into peoples yards. I know they have huge goat & boar hunts out there, as those animals are not native & distroying the land so the native animals cannot live there.

That's the first thing that came to my mind, too.

But then again, if its just population control, why make a CONTEST out of it for mindless slaughtering of crocs for nothing more than pleasure and a cash prize??

This what you're talking about?

We aren't all interested in crocodile hunts. There are no crocodiles where I live, the nearest is thousands of miles away.

Well I sure hope there is a huge overpopulation because Tazmanian government payed for thylacine skins untill they were critically endangered and now they are extinct.

The same reason they do it to fishing. To get people interested in it & to get a job done.

I mean no offence by this.. but that kind of thing needs to be done to the deer near the Ottawa area. the population is HORRIBLY out of control!!!! You know there are issues when over 10,000 live within the city!!!!! oh & that count is 5yrs old & ther is litterly no hunting anywhere near the city.. so ya, its safe to sayd it has to be well past 20,000 as I did see WAY more as the years went on..

Oh deer, yes. But not just.. slaughtering for contest if the animals' death will be in vain. If they're going to.. like.. EAT the crocs or something then yes that's fine. But if they're just going to throw the bodies in a compost heap after everything is said and done then what's the point??

And at least fish are eaten

We have the power to fix things we screw up, unlike the animals.. also we are a part of nature, it shoud be darn happy that many humand DO try to fix what we mess up along the way.
