walshie 2,804 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 If someone in the UK was attacked and/or killed by a wild animal, there would be moonlit vigils for them, people saying it wasn't their fault and lynch mobs out to get the "offending" creature. This woman was attacked by a crocodile in Australia and the response from the local MP was that "You can't legislate against human stupidity." Too true. http://news.sky.com/story/1704045/crocodile-snatches-woman-during-night-swim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,763 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Sometimes I do think that Australia and New Zealand are the last bastions of England. They're very much their own people but they seem to have held on to something that we lost a decade ago.... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neil cooney 10,416 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 I have Aussie relatives home at the moment and they were telling me before that incident that recently two old friends went out fishing as they have been for years. A croc flipped their boat killing one of them and the other man climbed onto the hull of the boat. He was there for 5 hours with the croc watching him. That never made the news over here.

just-A-snap 1,269 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) Unless we want to try to extinguish all small and large dangerous wild life on this planet, then is it not about time we stop thinking that we are the most special humans to have ever lived on this planet, It is F-ing Australia not bloody Milton Keynes , things with big teeth that kill live there. And if you are arrogant enough to think it only ever happens to others when going amongst them in their environment , well what can one say?

Silversnake 1,099 Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 I have Aussie relatives home at the moment and they were telling me before that incident that recently two old friends went out fishing as they have been for years. A croc flipped their boat killing one of them and the other man climbed onto the hull of the boat. He was there for 5 hours with the croc watching him. That never made the news over here. The tough old coot stuck on the hull fought it for hours with spanners and screwdrivers! The woman taken the other day was a new zealander who was celebrating the end of her cancer treatment. I guess the grim reaper comes in many forms... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
