How will Australians shoot snakes without their guns?

Oh I get it...

The snakes will stop biting because of the new legislation... Silly me..

What do they use on the gators?

1. All snakes are protected species in Australia, you can only kill them if they pose a direct risk to you or encroach on your home, even then you are preferred to call a snake catcher to remove them.

2. Shooting a snake, or should I say AT a snake is pointless......they would be almost impossible to hit...........a length of wire or chain is far more effective because of their flexibility, and the relative height of a snake and a human........

3. There has never been a law or legislation banning snakes from biting humans.

If they are not close enough to shoot they chop them with a shovel, I have a brother who lives out in the bush, he has no sentiment when he is confronted by a brown tiger snake, it is deadly and could kill him.....so far he has survived out there for 30+ years, the snakes didn't!

Wow never thought of that.

No danger of just leaving the snakes alone, then?

Snakes have as much right to live as we do.

Have you any idea how hard it is to hit a snake with a gun? Yea if you practise & make a hobby out of owning a gun then maybe but for average joe they will miss again & again. They can empty a magazine & will not hit it. You are better off clubbing the dam thing to death as you will almost certainly hit it first time.

Real dinky di auzzies don;t need weapons. Our hands and brains are all the weapon we need.

We had guns banned many years ago, so the average ocker can't own one these days. Like I said, we don't need 'em.

Snakes for example...........grab 'em by the tail, flick 'em like a whip and snap their heads off.

Cute answer 'jotacar'.

Try putting some snake bait in you neighbors yard.

Simple!! Only guns shoot. So, I guess if they do not use guns they simply cannot shoot at the snakes.

New legilsation? What new legislation?Nope your reference doesn't help. Think you have Australia confused with another country.

Did you say, "...snakes without their guns"?

What's a snake doing with a gun?

That could be dangerous!

Unless you don't really care for England, may I say there are Scottish people who don't care for this abuse of Britain. We are Scottish, and we are great. We don't have to be AUSTRALIAN TO SHOOT SNAKES. all you have to do is learn from the Scots.

I hit them with a stick

you are such a moron - we get by quite well without killing things

(and there is no new legislation)

they'll go at it with a knife like a real aussie

unless you're some kind of a ***** from england you would just pick them up and bite their heads off.

Uh...who actually cares about Oz? Or for bloody England, for that matter....
