Surgeons in Taiwan have reattached a vet's arm after it was bitten off by a crocodile at a zoo in the southern Taiwan city of Kaohsiung as he tried to give the crocodile an anaesthetic injection.

This only justifies that within my sphere of influence, all crocodiles are to be correctly anesthetised with a 185 grain hollowpoint.
Crocodiles make wonderful boots and handbags.

I'd rather not... Better to avoid getting close to them, as they are an endangered species... After all it is us who usually get in their way, thinking they're in our way.

I've seen a couple... In the wild!
Not as big as your salty water variants, though, but big enough (about 3 meters)

The important part of my statement was the first part. I have no intention of going into the swamp and starting a discussion with one. I expect the same courtesy in return. Therefore ... if one enters my sphere of influence, he/she/or it, will be immediately anesthetised.
Repeatedly.
Until I no longer detect movement ...
or I run out of hollowpoints.
Whichever occurs first!

I got the joke until after I posted and edited, but decided to leave the message... Darn, should go to bed, but I'm waiting on some packages to build

Wow the UK sucks for fun wildlife, the most we get is rumours (probably false) of a panther parading around some remote tree line somewhere.

Umm, I think there's a small difference between a turtle and a crocodile, but don't take my word for it
