You mean after its snagged, dragged, jumpped on, had the hell scared out of it, legs tapped up, mouth taped up & tossed onto a truck... ok thats far better then being shot & dying in a matter of seconds, to maybe a couple mins, all while its relaxing & has no reason to feel scared...

Well, I didn't think of that. I guess there's really no great way to do it.

Actually there is a easier way of euthanizing(sp?) them. You shoot one of the tranqualizers(sp?) at them then put them to sleep. It wont be stressing and if they have to tie them up it will be while there asleep so they won't know what is happening....

"The federal government REJECTED a proposal last year to trophy hunt 25 crocs a year in Australia".

It's not happening! Didn't anyone bother to read the article before jumping to conclusions?

oh dear, missed that link. should've done some research though.. me.

what I said would be remaining the same if that's the case. now I understand it was rejected last year but I wonder how have or why it's up again this year.

sorry!

ok, so it swims off & drowns before its even asleep, as the darts don't work that fast. The only way to put a wild animal down with the least amount of stress & pain is shooting it in its tracks. It doesn't see it coming & they die faster & with less stress (which is a form of pain)

Well obviously you do it when they are out of the water

ok this is getting stupid now... It takes some time for the drugs to kick in.. When you shoot the croc with the dart, it will run to the water & it will make it, as it is never too far from the water, then it'll drown...

[CagneyDog]

then it'll drown...

The same thing could happen when shooting it.

[buttercup132]

yes, especially if it dosen't kill them instantly in they are lying there in exrusiating(sp) pain, so it runs off to the water to get away for the few moments it still has to live and then it struggles to swim in the water them drowns.And if they are for prizes most likley the people aren't hunters and don't know how to shoot and what I said would become true!

[sandragonfly]
