Yea these guys are a problem down there every year when I was living in main beach we only saw 2 on the walk ways over 2 years so not as bad as the paper says
 
Man... I agree shooshoo, some of those comments just made me grumpy. Ugh, I hate the common idea that 'The only good snake is a dead snake'.

I personally think the government should have some sort of information ad saying 'Yes, it is illegal to kill snakes. No, they won't harm you unless you get too close. If you know of a snake in a public area call your local snake catcher.' And then have a website for people to go to with more information and names and numbers of registered snake relocaters. Would save many innocent snakes lives I'm sure, as the general public feel that it is 'their responsibilty' as an Australian to kill snakes in residential areas.
 
it makes me sad that people are really that stupid, horrible and DUMB that they believe these things should just be killed.
 
People are idiots. Can't say anymore then that otherwise I would be suspended.
 
Yup, i just got more and more irritated as i read through them. I've come across loads of Browns and RBBs over the years, most of the Browns being at the coast from the Goldie through the Ballina but it's just part and parcel of being in the area. I think, 'WOW! Can't believe i just saw a (such and such) luckyyyyyy' and go on my merry way making sure to just let anyone travelling in that direction know that there is a (such and such) up the path to keep their eyes open, never had any complaints. I really go batty when people try telling me their opinions on killing snakes, especially the boasters. Having said that i love nothing more than getting out my 'pet' animals and actually EDUCATING people.

RRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr i feel like shoving a coaster down the throats of some of these morons.
 
OH MY GOSH annoys me so bad

Just wait till one of them kill a child, then maybe the council will start to cull the bloody poisonous animals. So irresponsible that they put a snakes life ahead of a human beings.

I posted two questions.
1/How many children have been killed this year by snake?
2/How many children have been killed this year by human?
 
I'd rather be "attacked" by a brown than some of the thugs hanging around the streets down there :p

There is a plague of lounge snakes in the city of canberra,this species is the deadliest reptiles in Australia. They come out into populated areas once every three years,they seem quite harmless,but beware their venom is deadly, enough toxin in one bite could kill the whole nation,and they are very cranky as they have a sleep problem caused by the fact they can not lay straight in bed

Think that's an attempt at humour based on the uselessness of politicians. If I could figure out if it was pro or anti snake I might figure out if it was funny.

At least 2 people replied with common sense. Most people who get killed by snakes in Australia were themselves killing snakes, I'm sure that trend will become more and more prelevant as more public education about snakes increases.
 
That is what happens when you leave useless bush land on that strip , it should be bulldozed away and put in something decent that people can enjoy ...

What an idiot.
 
"enough toxin in one bite could kill the whole nation"

An eastern brown has enough venom to kill 22.5 million people?

The comments are irritatingly stupid to say the least...But people needs to realize this....Human beings are natural morons EVERYWHERE..I know some like to claim that Americans or blah blah blah etc are unusually ignorant or stupid but people are mindless idiots everywhere..Unfortunately, no one country or areas has a monopoly over idiotic close-minded fools..

It would be nice if all the idiots of the world could live together in one country or area...but that's not the case sadly. Your going to run into dumbasses everywhere you go. Only difference is that in some places the % of closeminded idiots to reasonable people is higher( say Texas) and in other places it is lower.
 
Haha the guy that would rather live in victoria than qld. That's the saddest thing

My post was not accepted by the paper. Not surprised.

I would rather he live in Victoria than Queensland.

And I have seen a snake in the mentioned area, I couldn't ID it then (brown with black markings) but I wouldn't be surprised if it was a keelback. Of course when Joe Public sees a snake it is always the "deadliest" known.
