Did anyone just watch KEEPING UP WITH THE JONES they just showed some redneck killing a baby Eastern Brown snake. She had a bucket and a shovel easy solution but no she bloody killed it and was proud about it!!!!!

 

[Fangus]

absolutely appalling ..... two seconds after showing them with a pet turtle and baby crocs .... love those reptiles but not the snakes hey ?

 

[ytamarin]

Yeah, way to show the rest of Australia "the best way" to deal with a snake.

 

[reptilife]

I saw that. Couldn't believe it. NO attempt to relocate it, and as you say... she had a spade & a bucket for God's sake!

 

[Nodrog]

I really wanna do something about this i am so pissed off. Wonder how she would like it if i took a spade to her leg!!

 

[ssshazza]

Absolutely disgusting!!! I urge all of you to make a written complaint about the killing of native wildlife on a national television program! AND it was directly after a Veterinary program....
I hope National Parks get involved, why shouldn't they be fined for killing a native animal????

[lizardman59]

put snakes down her pants in her sleep

 

[snakeluvver]

They just showed an appalling, not to mention ILLEGAL act on TV. Awful.

 

[Scleropages]

I am soo glad I don't watch TV.. keep in mind a good 80% of Australia would just kill the snake, narrow minded people...

 

[jenene283]

Damn it, I forgot it was on tonight. Im glad I didnt see it ! A word that springs to mind is "uneducated" :x

 

[AllThingsReptile]

hmmm, there goes my rspca suspicions again, why dont they do anything about??? is it allright if its on a TV show...i think not
its crap....to put it simple

 

[garthy]

As much as I don't agree with what the young lady did, it is common practice all over the country. There is a loop hole in the law stating that it is not illegal to kill a native animal if it is endagering your family, pets or livestock!!!
My biggest beef is that (in my opinion) it was clearly not a brown snake as stated! She may well have killed a harmless snake. I didn't see enough of it to postively identify it but it certainly did not look like a brown to me. What about the turtle kept without a licence, what about the salty travelled hundreds of kms in the searing heat on the back of a cruiser????
Not good to see on TV but let's hope this does raise the issue of killing native reptile through ignorance.

 

[snakeluvver]

Then the narrator said "If there's an Eastern Brown on your property, killing is the only thing to do." Um excuse my but have you ever heard of
R-E-L-O-C-A-T-I-N-G?

 

[thumper84]

omg i just saw it dosen't a every good e.g. for that lttle kid dose it

 

[WomaPythons]

i thought it lookd like a olive or sumthin not a browny

 

[harley0402]

calm down, OMG, i love snakes too but it was in the house yard and they have a little kid, they would be so many snakes there that they wouldnt want to relocate it, baby crocs and turtles cant kill a 3 year old and they sell the crocs anyway, i have snakes and i love them but i wouldnt chance it with my daughter running around the yard, surley some of you have kids.

 

[Wookie]

You are more likely to get bitten relocating than you are killing.

 

[jack]

this happened in the same state that some tv celebrities who ate a rat were persecuted.... hmmn

 

[harley0402]

thats because there is no need to eat a rat
