It's extra money for them, but it's a matter of life or death for the animals.

A little info on the overall problems in the fishing industry & enviromental
concerns.

Yahhhhh.....I had a laugh at all the excuses we got from the crocodile hunters here a few years ago in Oz....how they NEEDED the cull to actually have food on their table, to go on their yearly holiday to ski in Austria, to keep there speedboat properly fueled so that they could enjoy a ride around the bay after their barbeque with drinkies during the summer.
Poor little hunters.....I really felt sorry for them when they stopped most of the cull. I mean.....just WHAT is the world coming to ???? No crocodile skin handbags and shoes and stuff ???? Women will never be the same now !!!!
Imagine....NO crocodile skin accessories.
What actually WAS refreshing tho....was the knowledge that every now and again....a croc got smarter....and got one of them. Yep....you want the big bucks....you take the risks. Trouble is tho.....it is the big bucks that rule....so who really gives a heck if the crocs go extinct.
I wonder where those hunters are now ???? Hmmm...dunno....probably all starved to death....probably.
