#1 The problem is so serious that there are calls for the countrys strict gun laws to be relaxed and hunters to be given open season on crocodiles.

Oh please, please, please. Bob's my federal representative. My children are now banned from the local swimming hole even though it is freshwater and in a beautiful rainforest setting because the farmer next door spotted a huge salty in the river a few days ago. There are so many of them that they are being pushed up river into previously non-croc areas.

Besides, I'd love to shoot a crocodile. Unfortunately the area has also become home to many rabid Greenies who value animal life more than human.

#2 Heh.. My mate and I are always out in the scrub on our days off with our trust 303, shotgun and other toys. Yes plenty of crocs around but I hate to see a free for all shoot as there won't be any left for us..

#3 Gladys, many rabid Greenies...

How about putting them out of their misery too?

#4 twobyfour, I'm still optimistic there may be a cure but the foaming at the mouth and madness is hard to take at times. I just hope the cure doesn't involve them losing one of their children but, as with the WOT, unless it affects you personally most people don't give a bugger.

#6 Territorial creatures have to migrate to preserve predator space. Do I have to tell the Aussies that a simple cull from the margins won't effect preservation areas? A gun won't protect a swimmer. "Salties" attack from below, and then drag the swimmer under until they drown.

#7 Unfortunately the area has also become home to many rabid Greenies who value animal life more than human.

Feed them to the crocs. Then cull the crocs. Two problems solved. No charge, this time.

#8 Besoeker beat me to it. Australia's luggage industry should get involved.

#9 Maybe start a "Hug a Croc" campaign. Or a rumor that a true believer in Islam has no fear of crocs, because Allah will protect him, and he must prove his faith by petting them on the head.
