Boys bash a croc to death, heroes or villains?
TWO boys have taken revenge on a crocodile lurking near their Cairns home, hooking it and bashing it to death with a rock.
"We got a torch, a big hook and some meat and went down and got it,"

If they were really worried about the safety of others, surely they would have called someone in.
Seems to me that they are making that an excuse for their disgusting behaviour, at the end of the day what they did was torture a living thing - are they going to move onto people next?
What will their excuse be then - "Oh, I thought he looked shifty so I battered him to death. I was worried he might attack someone"
I know crocs are dangerous, but there are more humane ways of getting rid of them.

We get the same with gators here people live near their habitat then moan they see them. Fact of life especially when you carry big lumps of meat on hooks. Made me think of Jaws

My son was attacked by a magpie twice yesterday outside our bleeding house. Seems that they have made their home in our jacaranda tree right outside our front door. Nightmare.

They are little shits thats what they are, theres plenty of people trained to capture crocs and rehome them if they are endangering people. Bounce a rock of their heads and see how they like it. Can you just imagine what the headline would have been if the croc had turned on these little idiots!!!! My opinion of course
