Thanks to my Canberra Reporter, James.
James brought this story to my attention early this morning……Thanks, mate!
THE STORY GOES.
“The man, in his 20s, was swimming in croc-infested waters north of the Lockhart River in Far North Queensland on Friday afternoon when the attack happened, leaving him in a critical condition.
The friend who went to his aid, a man in his 30s, is also being treated for serious wounds to his wrist and arm”
I think I have heard this story before? Maybe it is a repeat? No, but is sure sounds familiar.
THIS IS A STORY THAT WILL REPEAT, AND REPEAT.
Croc attacks two men. Not just one, but two. Of course, yes, I know the second fellow copped it because he tried to save his friend.
Well, we are all humans!
Yes, I know they were in the water, but I don’t know why. It is too dangerous but all the same, this is 2021 and we shouldn’t accept so easily the fact that crocs are killing humans.
I am a member of the Crocodile Appreciation Society because I appreciate crocodiles. I am both amazed and impressed by their abilities.

But I don’t think they are cute, or cuddly, and I do not lack sympathy for the poor fools who make a human mistake and end up in the jaws of CROCZILLA.
In all honesty there are too many attacks and near misses.

When will we all wake up and realize that it is bloody stupid to allow this to continue. We must do something about this. Bring this stupidity to an end.
I honestly think it is about time we start listing the almost attacks, the near misses, and the creeping, crawling crocodiles, intent on menacing, getting too close, and not just focus on the “sometime” result: A SAVAGING.
Don’t forget that a croc attack is more than a bite. It is like a life sentence to numerous operations, one after the other, and a memory that likely won’t go away. Like an evil, bad, smell, with a hint of horror lingering.
Too many crocs – not good for the humans. Sorry, but that is it.
