Q Should the AFCD call in professional crocodile hunters?

Crocodiles are territorial hunters and when it comes to meal time, they do not discriminate between humans and animals. This has been evidenced over the years by crocodile attacks on people.

In killing its prey, a crocodile will lay in wait and then suddenly pounce. Once the crocodile has taken hold, it performs the 'death roll' - that is, it submerges its prey under water, continually rolling until its prey finally dies. Occasionally, a crocodile will wedge its prey under a submerged log until it starts to decompose. The crocodile later returns to devour its prey.

Such a cunning and dangerous animal requires professional intervention. When people are chosen for space travel, a professional is chosen. Likewise, when a crocodile requires capturing, a professional crocodile hunter should be chosen. Bring in the professionals.
