That's very sad. Stayed in Flores and went to Komodo Island on my honeymoon. The dragons are amazing and was fortunate enough to see fully-grown males have a battle for dominance. The ranger's carry a long branch with a fork in it to defend themselves (by catching the dragon's neck in the fork). Dragons are smart enough to catch things like goats, so they are a danger to adult humans - more by sneaking up rather than a frontal attack. Wouldn't be too much of a challenge to take one unfortunately. They're usually quite hungry (lots of them hang around the rangers' hut waiting to be fed), so setting a trap with a piece of meat in it would work with little danger to the operator if they were careful.
