Default True,

Conservationists? Causation , overhunting.
The devouring of this guy may be a tragedy but on the behalf of the wild beasts
I would call this occurrence,- poetic justice.
Animal species disappear daily. Bon apetit.

WTH.
In that case they would have to kill all the crocodiles because they all are potential people eaters. No, they opened the crocs to see if they could find human remains so as to determine whether or not the crocs ate him. Also to collect the remains for the family.

It's not like the crocodiles have taken a taste for people are are going to be hunting them down in the village. They're opportunists. They lie in wait. Whatever comes their way is fair game.

Just spitballin' here, but there might be some economic benefits if they could sell tickets to watch a crocodile eat a big game hunter ...

Big game hunters should become as extinct as the animals they hunt are becoming. Why not promote photo safaris? You still get to use a big gun (a very large lens).

Um, those aren't exactly real researchers. That's an animal rights group that PAID for an economic study that if you read through it definitely reads like a paid study.

If you would like to discuss the flaws in the study in depth let me know.
