Conservationists worry, however, that the Northern Territory will continue to push for federal permission to allow trophy hunters to target these prehistoric beasts.

“We do expect to have to continue to fight this and … internationally people don’t want to see Australia hunt its native animals,” said Alexia Wellbelove from the Humane Society International.

I see your press down under has the same problem with the English language as ours. They use the term conservationist when they should be using the term preservationist. Obviously, the actual conservationists are the hunters themselves.

I hope you guys get your croc season. Here in Texas, the gator season hasn't devastated gators. It's ridiculous to imagine it will.

Here's a 10 1/2 footer on Lake Lavon, north of Dallas.
