Over the past year 10 crocodiles have been found killed in the Northern Territory in Australia. These killings are illegal and appear to have been done for trophy hunting.

Although the killings themselves are sad, the comments section on the "NT News" article are even worse with people saying things like "That's two down, only 89,998 left to go. Oh My God, they call this illegal" and "Good. Kill some more."

These animals where not nuisance animals and therefore their was no justification for these killings. Hopefully these animal will one day get the respect they deserve.
