Dept of Enviro strikes again..croc killer fined.!

[Kev_McC]

So we kill dingoes, can't kill snakes, can't kill crocs, can't kill sharks.
Seems to me we can't kill anything that can kill humans. But kill anything that can't kill us lol. But it's fine to destroy koala habitats, don't allow control burning so when fires do light up, which they will, they kill millions of harmless animals. Makes total sense.
I don't know the details of the croc shooting, but he probably saved thousands a week in lost stock, in removing the threat, without even mentioning the risk of human lives.
And if one of his workers got injured or heaven forbid their life, the scum lawyers would nail his arse to the cross for unsafe workplace. Yep the world makes total sense lol.

Not sure I understand your point. My point is that it’s reasonable to expect us to manage the risk. Tell your employee not to go near the water with giant reptiles in it. have a trough so your stock can drink without going near the water with a giant reptile in it.
if a croc does injure or kill someone then I’m all for it being removed. Don’t agree with killing them because of the risk to a businesses profits though.

Yea i guess, I've been able to train my cows to only drink out of water trough.
LMFAO

I don't think it's unreasonable to ban all greenies and tree huggers from being able to consume any animal products or anything made from oil. Shit, i don't think they could survive

I think said graziers should only be allowed to have fenced feedlots, to enable the crocs to roam free. We need to lock off all mangroves and waterways. And in floods close off the roads to allow free travel for crocs, and yes that includes the southeast qld.
If i sound sarcastic........

You might want to read the article I linked to initially..

Whats a water trough got to do with it..?
The croc was hanging around a crossing.
Many properties have watercourses through them, including mine, and its not unreasonable to expect to be able to traverse your property in safety.

Docaster, Roo's are another native critter that is routinely culled legally with quota as well as regular property shooting because their umbers regularly get out of hand...

Like Roo's, perhaps there should be a quota for crocs over 3m in certain areas with the skin and meat being commercially used..I know Bob Katter has suggested this in the past only to be shot down by certain groups..As long as regular population surveys are done so it can be done sustainably it could become a small industry here and the NT and would save taxpayers paying rangers for all the time and effort of trapping programs...

You’re right, I had not read the original article. My apologies if it seemed I had a problem with what you said. My comment was an opinion about the notion that it’s ok to shoot it because of what it might do to cattle. If you’re watering cattle from near-coastal waterways/wetlands north of the Tropic of Capricorn then there’s a risk that is yours to manage or accept. The comment about the trough was that plenty of graziers fence off these areas and water stock from troughs instead of streams.. Better water quality for the cattle (with production benefits), safer, less damage to streambanks.
Because I hadn’t read it I didn’t pick up on the ‘woman scorned’ angle. Can’t believe people would be dumb enough to use social media if they did something so obviously illegal. Same thing happened here a few years ago when a local genius shot a 5m+ croc a few times and posted on Facebook.

I would have shot it if in his position.

Good on him , he’s entitled to be safe on his farm

I have no problem with culling the really big ones that lurk around places that people frequent or where land holders can’t avoid them. Not suggesting wholesale culling but some sort of application stating the reasons to gain permission needs to be put in place.
