How many reported injuries occurred from Nile monitor attacks in Florida--no, the U.S.--, in history? Then research how many dog bites/attacks have been reported. When in doubt, check the statistics. Numbers don't lie--people do.

I have inferred from your posts that you have made up your mind on this issue, as it is far more sexy to write about the dangers of Nile monitors, than to effectively diffuse a public hysteria. This is tantamount to outlawing a Crocodile monitor simply because it's total length is eight feet (as they are considering in N.C.).

If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them. -JH
