I just read this and watched the clip of these idiots walking the beach/creek edge at night.
Why would you Not educate tourist to the dangers of doing this and simply shooting the crock who was just doing what they do won't solve anything.
Katters comment of "If you educate tourists you won't have any" is ridicules, If people Knew not to do stupid things in crock country then there wouldn't be any bad publicity to start with.

Educating tourists has not worked in the past and will not work in the future
Hell even some local`s get taken so education is lost on the minority
The answer is let nature take care of those that dont listen or read

Bob Nutter full of crap as usual

Exactly - they aren’t hard to live with, just stay out of their habitat. Shouldn’t be culling them, let them carry out Darwin’s work - survival of the fittest all the way, we need to do more of it.

Educate the crocs and cull the tourists?

How did we educate tourists.......so that it actually sinks in.

Either way with the popularity of destinations crocs probably need to be managed, best method I’m not sure........however I’m on the fence whether it’s the right or wrong approach.

Culling should be done for the right reasons - not because humans get attacked in a crocs domain . I was silly enough to get attacked by a croc because I was spear fishing in its domain and it was doing what it needed to get a feed.

Crocs are bred very successful in captivity so if it's to control crocs that move into populated areas and can't be relocated then I see no issue with that, but to be used as trophy shooting for people's pleasure or fun should never happen.

just my 2c worth

Dont do anything... Its taken a long time to get the tourists up there to keep the crocs fed, why interfere with nature....

Cull tourists LOL
