Meanwhile, in Queensland, the cops are trained in snake handling.

I believe they send them off to a farm to live with all the other funnel-webs - either that, or out to the country to lurk under toilet seats. (That used to be quite a Thing, out in the country. Nothing like a walk in the dark to an outdoor loo, with a torch to check for funnel-webs. Ah, memories...)I wonder what they do with those 300 spiders after milking them....
What else would you expect from a link about funnel-web spiders?

Sorry - I thought it was pretty clear that the link would take you to funnel-webs. (Not to real funnel-webs - just to pictures.)
ETA: The males are milked for venom....
It's quite benign. Just people watching out for and reporting local crime. No weapons and/or vigilantes involved, thank goodness!
You may be wrong Queensland alert over giant funnel-web sightings
(old news but )
But bycommon (English) law you are allowed to make a citizen arrest. And it'd be much more successful those arrests if you Queenslanders and more generally the whole island continent of Down Under adopt American way in respect to the Second Amendment (if the USC).
It is so cool the right to keep and bear arms!
Australia sharply curtailed gun ownership after suffering the largest mass shooting in the world (still hasn't been topped).But bycommon (English) law you are allowed to make a citizen arrest.

So it's not like you're opening their eyes to something they've never tried before. They tried it and didn't like it.
Surely, that was not the reason for enacting this ignorant gun bill. No, You've been misinformed, jjdebenedictis. It was never about people or what they like or dislike.
You can not (must not) impose sever punishment on and take away the basic human rights of the whole confederation of 20 something million people because a lone psychopath went on a shooting spree.
Agree?
I am an English gentleman. But I plan to move to Australia soon.
So when you wrote about living "at the beaches like me" you meant the British beaches?
Nope. Don't agree.You can not (must not) impose sever punishment on and take away the basic human rights of the whole confederation of 20 something million people because a lone psychopath went on a shooting spree.
Agree?
