FWC Relocates Miami-area Crocodile, Offers Safety Tips

Dec 23rd, 2008

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), along with licensed trappers, captured and relocated a nearly 11-foot-long American crocodile from a Coral Gables, Miami neighborhood.

This is the second time this particular crocodile has been relocated. The crocodile found its way back to the same neighborhood canal after the previous relocation.

This crocodile has been blamed for eating at least three neighborhood dogs. In order to protect their pets, pet owners should keep their pets away from the water or water’s edge, on a leash or in a fenced area.

Wouldn’t you just love to toss these traitorous Democrats into a pit full of these hungry monsters and watch them get torn to pieces?

"...In order to protect their pets, pet owners should keep their pets away from the water or water’s edge, on a leash or in a fenced area carry firearms and when confronted - blast away with extreme prejudice."

Yep, that's a croc. So is "relocating" the damn things.

Catch and release is for fish, NOT for dangerous predators.

A CEO retired to Sanabel, joined the Sanabel Conservancy, and was killed by a gator while walking his dog.

Had the enviro-whackos (like the gator dinner under discussion) not forbidden hunting/shooting of any gator seen as a risk to a citizen or their animals, these tragedies would not occur.

Contrary to enviro-whacko dogma, AgencyPersons really can’t create a Miami version of the Garden of Eden

Therefore, despite all the bureaucratic bafflegab from AgencyPersons, ParcMan, even ParcGirl, huge hungry reptiles do not live in peace with food animals like dogs, and humans.

Only regular applications of gunpowder and hot lead keeps predatory beasts afraid of man. The reality is that a predator either is afraid of man or is calculating man’s caloric content.
