We aren't talking salties, there are very few (any confirmed?) cases of people being killed by monitors. The only truly frightening species would be KD's.

I wasn't talking numerically. A dog or cat eats alot more often than a monitor, Right?? There is a price to pay for the ability to keep active longer and during colder weather.

I thought the whole discussion was on environmental impact. It is a witchhunt plain and simple. Alot of the reasons brought up are the same reason people here deal with rattlesnakes(which are native) with a shovel, or want every mountain lion shot. Ignorance and fear are hardly good environmental policies.
