fishing north australia... attempt to kill snake

[Colin]

What channel was it on?

It's on Channel 9 saturday mornings 8:30am

For someone with Alex Julius' "repuation" as a fisherman and wildlife journalist, and having lived up in the NT for years, I would have thought he'd be a little more informed on the local wildlife and not be such a moron.


Aww...come on guys he was only trying to impress that "bikini clad female"

It's not a serious fishing show anyways ... it;s a comedy for desparados

Did anyone see that story on Red Belly that bit a kid in sydney's western suburbs on the news last week.

They interviewed some idiot who said he wanted to find the snake. Then they showed footage of him looking for it in bushes, holding a cricket bat in one hand and his 5 y.o daughters hand in the other.... Oh and neither of them were wearing shoes.

Class A moron

I saw and thought they exact same thing. Its frustrating how such an influencial (sp) form of media is so bad in the way they portray reptiles. Sure they play Life in Cold Blood and have the reptile park guys (great job putting up with it) on the morning shows but even then the host make a huge deal about it being a snake and how much they hate snakes.

its a tree snake how scarey are they lucky no one got bit nasty things them

 

[Emmalicious]

Its bad enough they have to resort to sexual discrimination on a show. But animal abuse.... thats just wrong, good on you for writing to channel 9. Television is very impressionable now people will go around whacking snakes... and I hope they get bitten!

'Tis times like this when I lose faith in our human race.
Lol is that guy so darn boring that he needs to get a girl with a bikini on just so people will watch his show? thats just sad.

 

[Rainbow-Serpent]
