So was that actually a zoo? Or was it just some public area where big ol' crocodiles run the beach? That definitely didn't look a good area to be beachcombing.

It's from the Ivory Coast. Essentially the same thing there...

However, a Croc this big was captured in the Philippines. Weighed well over a ton.

If transgendered people get injured or killed in the South, there should be no sympathy or condemning of the abusers/murderers.

Any sympathy or condemning of the abusers/murderers misses the essential similarity between crocodiles and southern people who come across a transgendered person: they can't help but kill the vulnerable/transgendered person. It's the nature of southerners to kill transgendered people just as it is the nature of crocodiles to eat vulnerable people.
