Culling makes it safer for humans. Humans are worth more than crocs.

Why is that? We do much more damage to the planet than crocs do and there are far too many of us anyway...
I have to agree with Peter.
We've occupied most of the hospitable parts of the planet, I'm sure we can leave some of the inhospitable places to the critters.

1. Would be good if those making claims first checked their credentials before making unsubstantiated claims and having a shoot first mentality
2. For the record between 1869 and 7/6/2014 there have been 132 incidents in Australia from Salt Water crocodiles 92 were non fatal, 40 were fatal. There were 11 incidents involving Australian freshwater crocodiles all of which were non fatal. Regradless of colour four times more males have been involved than females.
3. Animals in the 2-4 metre range account for around half (64) of the incidents and 14 of the fatalities
4. Animals in the 4-6 metre range account for 28 of the incidents and 19 of the fatalities which is what might be expected
5. Crocodile attacks are still a very rare event but are increasing as urbanization spreads and ill informed people do absolutely stupid things in known crocodile habit.
6. Unless you can support your claim, suggestion or hearsay then why bother making it? Serves absolutely no purpose in the discussion.
^^^^^^^ I am not 'qualified' to do so, but I am guessing that the above is the best example of hypocrisy you might ever witness.

leave the crocs alone
i dont look forwards to reading about future fatalities from crocs. but when it does happen, i hope its some of the tree hugging, kumbay-ya singing,never actually been up and seen crocs except in a zoo, that get taken as a snak-pack.
Checked the records, looks like that is unlikely given the ratio of tree huggers vs locals that currently get smashed.
I've spent enough time working with a pukpuk spotter to have a say, but keep guessing, its entertaining.

Then volunteer to be culled mate! Or do you think someone else should. Laughable. The croc that sadly got this guy has been culled anyway. Like it or not. Its easy to be full of bluster about leaving them alone, but they are master predators who are too much of a match for forgetful humans. Its not their environment exclusively either, Its fully ours too, and remember not all culling is killing , most so far get sent to farms, but thats prob unsustainable. In the mean time, we have all been reminded that as we go out into ours and their country, we need to be extremely careful.
Also the thread is largely about what we can learn about being safer with them as we cohabit this region. Certainly a wake up call.

Still don't understand your comment that humans are 'worth more than crocs'...
Says who? Aren't we all God's creatures?
7.2 billion of us and increasing exponentially and unsustainably. Yep, a human 'cull' is long overdue...
Cull cull cull
Its easy. If you want them to be equal, dont ever again eat any living thing. They die, you live. And dont catch fish either, ya cruel bugger!

Qld Gov is culling crocs, and it hard to see it not happening in the Territory.
