A COUPLE of monster crocs who had taken to eating cattle at Annaburroo Station — 100km southeast of Darwin — have been caught.
The two crocs were so big they had to moved around by a tractor. The beasts were caught by Triple C, Crocodile Catching Contractors owners Roger Matthews and Michael Phillips.
Mr Matthews who has been croc farming on and off since 1988 said the crocs measured 4.3m and 4.45m and were holed up in a dam together.
They were caught on Boxing Day. The beasts have been named after Mr Matthews two mates Gobbo and Croco, who bailed from helping him catch the crocs after a big Christmas Day. Mr Matthews uses a special hook to agitate the crocs and get their heads above water before putting a noose around their snout.
“It’s a procedure, but if you’ve never done it before it would probably look a little bit terrifying,” he said.
He said it wasn’t too uncommon to see two large crocs together as it often took several animals to tear the cattle apart. As it is illegal to catch and release a croc, and with no farm wanting them Mr Matthews euthanased the animals.
He said the skin would be turned into leather and the skulls processed and sold.
Bigoted Olympics Separates Events Into Men’s, Women’s
PYEONGCHANG, KOREA—Displaying a total disregard for gender equality, organizers of the 2018 Winter Olympics have segregated the world’s largest athletic competition into two categories, strictly on the basis of sex.
Viewers were shocked to discover discriminatory events like “Men’s Speed Skating” and “Women’s Ice Hockey” on the program. The bigoted, intolerant separation of male and female athletes triggered a series of angry protests, and the hashtag #OlympicsPatriarchy began trending on Twitter.
“They are still trying to tell us that men and women are different,” complained one protestor. “Don’t they know we have achieved the age of gender fluidity? It’s 2018.”
Activists hope to eliminate gender divisions for the 2020 Summer Games, at which time they plan to boycott the Olympics over the inevitable gender medal gap that will result.
