Well, the poor thing was getting old and it was harder to feed himself. And PETA would certainly have approved his change in diet.

Yep, this croc has the Earth First and PETA stamp of approval. It's sad to see an 80 year old beast terminated when he could be just as well be happily feasting on natives. He would have been great for a zoo ..... been fed an occasional live (n kicking) one.

How true, the videotapes would have really sold in the zoo souvenir store. The traditional zoo volunteer classes would rapidly go extinct, though, and the PETA helpers might be forced to raid nearby homeless shelters.
