Dang proper Bastard of a bird, mean to the bone & it appears it knows it can kick anybody's arse, I doubt a baseball bat would slow it down...poor dear is probably protected (by the government) as well.
Yes its protected......just like ALL our snakes are!
Australia is home to 20 of the 25 most venomous snakes in the world, including all of the top 11. The world's most venomous snake, the inland taipan is found nowhere else on Earth. It is also called the fierce snake, and carries enough venom in a single bite to kill around 250,000 mice.
Seems like your Guberment (Much like ours) wants to protect everything under its purview, except the people and their freedoms! I guess that is getting to be a world-wide phenomenon these days!?!?
