I have heard tarantulas will kill dogs but not people, but the only symptom I can find on the web is respiratry arrest. 1080 is a very remote possibility, I would think a snake more likely.
Thanks all for your replies.
Thanks all for your replies.
I'd be checking the area for 1080and had been chained up for several hours when they began barking, yelping, trembling and charging back and forth on the end of the chain
Oppps... Was'ent me or any of my mates....
Tasmania uses 1080 to kill Wallabies... for gods sakes Natvie Animals!
They were here before we were...
Australia now has many more macropods (kangaroos and wallabies) than before European settlement. This is because we have changed the landscape to suit grazing animals. What suits a cow or sheep also suits most macropods. You reach the point of all plant life being devastated by this horde of native animals, until there is a drought to starve most of them.
Jungle_...the barking would be the dogs on alert and barking at the snake then yelping at being bitten and usually a quick death said:Or just from being in pain. Sounds nasty.
Hope they weren't chained the whole time..what a crap way to die.
