THE Northern Territory Government will reopen crocodile safari hunting under its proposed new croc management plan.
Under the draft plan, the Government hopes to offer controlled game hunting of 25 salties - all a minimum of 3.5m long - each year.
Clients will be able to pay top dollar to shoot the big reptiles and keep the skull and skin as trophies,
The Northern Territory News reportedWe the people of Australia and the world call on you to cancel any plans for Crocodile Safari's, You say this is not about not aimed at reducing or controlling crocodile numbers. You say it would have huge economic benefits for traditional land owners. The traditional land owners do NOT own the wildlife which includes crocodiles. We will be not better than the Japanese if you go ahead with this horrible idea. The crocodiles where here long before us humans and we have no right killing them for sport or any other reason. If people are foolish enough to swim in the rivers where the crocs live you can not punish the crocs for their actions. Australia is a better country than this. To say people can keep their skulls and skin as a trophy is outrageous.
We will not sit back while this despicable act happens. Please listen to the people and cancel any plans of killing or culling the crocs. We humans have to live with the Wildlife we do not own them or have aright to kill them.
