Croc just wanted a bit of 'armless play

Blimey, how lucky was that lady? Saltys are massive things, bloody fast too - over short distances.

Why did they kill the croc when it was only doing as nature intended?
The report says it was because it was in an area where humans and pets frequent. It's Australia; you're going to get crocs and other creatures that are going to do you harm if you get near them!
How did they know they had killed the croc responsible, BEFORE they cut it open? Lastly, if they killed it "humanely" as reported, why didn't they just sedate it and transport it away from human habitation?
I'm not normally a big supporter of animal rights, but this stinks a bit.

It doesn't mention that in the report though! It just says she was taken to hospital for emergency surgery, which I assumed from the report was required to stop the bleeding.

You didn't read the first line of the report?

Yes. Please tell me where it says her hand/forearm were re-attached!

A WOMAN’S hand and forearm have been found in the stomach of a crocodile that was killed after an attack in Western Australia’s Kimberley region.

The headline gave a bit of a hint, too.....

Crocodile attack: Hunt for animal after woman loses hand in Wyndham

I retain my ability to make connections (no pun intended) between things stated and actual events, and do not rely on journalists explaining everything to me

 

[Levo-Lon]
