This is what the
croc will do.
 
This is what the
Government is allowing to happen in Queensland
This crocodile was shot by the E.P.A then the head was removed then
the body was just dumped even though they didn't know if it was the
crocodile. Later to find out it wasn't the one that attacked in the
first place.
These crocodiles are a valuable natural resource they can be turned
into a valuable product that could be worth up to $30,000,
this money could have gone to the families left behind. Instead of
letting them rot.
What a Joke!
Crocodiles will kill you.
Please see my section on Crocodile Hunters and become more informed.
This is why problem crocodile should be removed, especially when you
see real images like these.
