Plans by the Northern Territory government to introduce safari-style expeditions were rejected last month by the federal environment minister, Peter Garrett, who said the proposals were “not a suitable approach for the responsible management of crocodiles”, ...
Peter Garrett, once of the Nuclear Disarmament Party and whom sang rock songs about throwing Americans bases out of Australia.
A total dickhead.

... where rangers routinely relocate troublesome animals and their eggs from built-up areas and tourist spots.
....
Mr Denigan said he would not benefit commercially because he is busy enough already catching rogue crocodiles for his skinning and souvenir business.
This is NOTHING about killing crocodiles as over 600 are already killed each year .. but about denying hunters a safari hunt.
Quote:
Under strict official guidelines, Mr Denigan, a former government quarantine officer, is employed to remove problem crocodiles from private land in the Northern Territory, where rogue animals are stalked at night by boat, impaled with a harpoon and then shot in the head.
His quarry is then skinned, with its durable hide made into souvenir wallets, boots and belts.

“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 love it, "international people don't want to see Australia hunts its native animals". (grammar left as written!
Quote:
As far as numbers are concerned, I think there is a natural limit within all wildlife populations based on the amount of food available, and we’d like to leave wildlife to look after itself rather than trying to control it artificially through safari hunting.”
Typical moronic uninformed, uneducated comments from a typical "plastic monkey".
