Over 600 saltwater crocodiles are legally culled already either by shooting or trapping. Often shot in the trap as well.

The NT and Qld gov'ts under the last Howard gov't asked for 25 CITES permits to be made available out of the existing 600 plus already culled for the safari industry but "green" "exploiters" like Steve Irwin publicly got it stopped. Irwin and Howard were good "mates". Anyway Howard used public money to buy the Irwin's a nice big cattle station allegedly to be used for "conservation" .... but according to the last media reports I read they were still running cattle on most of it ...

One might think Irwin and other croc "farmers" don't want the competition for wild caught / "harvested" crocs.

My opinion anyway ie the above.

NO reason justifiable for not introducing a safari industry for the saltie crocs. Their skulls and skins would make grand trophies.
