First of all just want to state i dont want this turning nasty i understand everyone has there own opinions, i dont agree with this myself but i want to no more about it so i can understand it a bit better
my parents just got back from a trip alice springs ayres rock darwin etc
they went to the crocodylus park research and edu centre in darwin
today they popped in with my bday pressents and one part was they gave me a purse... and its real croc skin from the park they visited, i feel sort of bad having it in ways, i asked mum and she explained that up there they have to farm them to keep the numbers down, i asked if it was wild ones and she said no its the ones in the actual park they do it for research and because they dont stop breeding etc
also with it came a cert incase i want to go out of the country with it and if i want to sel it yada yada yada
she said that someone explained that its not cruel because its done for research and it has to be done to keep numbers down... and when they kill them they then use them to make these
i felt pretty bad in ways i mean i know that we breed cows to eat and leather is used for shoes etc but at the end of it if they are breeding crocs just to make handbags and wallets that would upset me... but supposedly thats not the case
but like i said i was told its for research and because the numbers get to high... and i guess that with the ones that they get to many of they use the skins to make these?
does anyone know anything more about this?
i personally dont really agree with it i just would have thought they would seperate them to stop them breeding... but i dont know how it works up there it just sort of makes me feel bad thinking they kill animals to make us accessories but once again i dont no if they just use the skin since they have to destroy the animal anyway?
(in the mag there is also stingray and eel items... not just crocs i found that a bit creepy!)

so whats the deal? why cant they just stop breeding so many so they dont have to kill them? and do u think that its wrong? i dont feel right using the purse because i dont agree with killing animals because they are getting to many, imo they should be working out how to stop getting so many crocs...
my parents ment no harm, they know i love reptiles etc so i said thanks for it it is a nice looking purse i would have been happy with a fake one tho.
