All animals go to heaven is just illogical planning. You’re telling me every crocodile that ever lived is in heaven? Heaven must be swarming crocodiles. Does that sound like heaven to you? Thousands of millions of crocodiles?
Crocs and gators are just big, angry logs that want to be left alone. They don’t cause anyone harm as long as you stay the hell away from them, gaze at them lovingly (far away), whispering “who is a gorgeous murder scale tree? you are, I love you, don’t eat me”
