it appears dodgy reptile relocators are everywhere

[alex_c]

something seriously needs to be done about morons like this.
there needs to be standards and a code of practice put in place to stop these cruel capture techniques

Who cares. At least they didn't just shoot it.

What was he supposed to do? Close the pool, set a trap and wait 5 days until it gets trapped?

just look at how he transports it with the restraining pole still on its neck almost choking it.

and just draging it around the concrete and bitumen.... lifting it up by its neck etc....

you obviously havent seen george the snakeman in action.the fact t is there clowns like this everywhere who make out its humane yet can cause serious damage to the animal in the process with their reckless capture techniques.the regulations and laws need to be tougher in regards to this issue.

[MoreliaMatt]

they are yanks i am suprised they did not call in the marines and the air force for some airial bombardment.
it does look a bit cruel but crocodilians are fairly tough creatures id say he will be just fine.

i cant actually watch this video because im stuck with dial up at the moment, but i saw a capture of a gator the other day on the TV and first he just teased it, then to restrain it he tied all its limbs behind its back, it would have been 7ft(just over 2 metres) then threw it in the back oh his ute, open air. the worst part was he was supposed to be an experienced reptile removalist. how hard is it to do the right thing?

i thought people like that were supposed to reduce the stress on the animal...

 

[itbites]

LOL what a joke this guy is it's bloody tiny all that drama to catch one small croc ...

 

[Trouble]

:shock::evil: thats really sad the way he treated him. And then they call him a hero :?.
Tying the pole to the alligator as well, thats just idiotic.

I don't kno why he couldn't get in the pool and catch him that way :twisted: but seriously, you could see he was choking!! Americans... what else can you expect :lol:

exactly it needs to be regulated a lot more to weed out the bad ones and keep them out of the proffession or atleast teach them the right way to do things.

 

[weezie_martini]

i think thats discusting! EVER HEARD OF A TOP JAW ROPE? i mean the americans are huge on steve irwin so i dont see why they didnt just do that it would have been a lot less stress for the aligator seriously and for the size it was that man coulda jumped on it easily!!!! how annoying this has me extremely upset!

 

[weezie_martini]

and to make it worse it looks like they are using a dog catcher pole to catch it...how would they like it if they were flipped upside down attached to a pole??!

 

[SyKeD]
