It's just ignorance still. People are afraid of what they don't understand. A lot of hate towards an animal that wasn’t troubling anyone. It’s just ignorance still.

Who's to say the shooter was not licensed? Were you there? Who's to say the croc did not become aggressive when it was in the presence of people? I agree that we should not pointlessly kill animals; However, our top priority is to survive, and to help other people survive. You think about emergency situations that happen here at home. Authorities had better things to do than deal with a roque Croc (or bear) when New Orleans flooded. I do agree that violent tendancies toward animals reflect violent tendencies toward people, but there's just not enough information here to conclusively judge whether the actions depicted above were justified or not. Emotions can be blinders - remember that. I’ve seen some people jumping to conclusions here… Who’s to say the shooter was not licensed? Were you there?

Chances are that crocodiles will continue to be displaced as we are in the hurricane season. At this writing there is already another area of disturbance out in the Atlantic (heading towards the Lesser Antilles) and if there is further development, Jamaica’s south coast MAY be in for some action.
