well its not illegal in some situations, people can kill snakes if they believe that it is a potently dangerous situation....They should of contacted after hour NPWS (I agree) for numbers of snake catchers in that area...but if there are non you will find that most NPWS officers do not have the experience to handle snakes so they would prob leave it to the police (which will not hesitate to use batons at any opportunity, it is sad to hear that the snake had been killed, but let me tell you they are getting killed everyday which usually preventable...very sad indeed
I'm disgusted with their decision to kill this snake.
There are many other ways to get them out of your house without killing the poor creature.
I am scared and fell threatened by Police as they seem to do what they want.(I know 6 Police Officers).
If i was to find a Officer in my kitchen would i kill it. NO!!!.
For that matter my Mum scares me would i kill her?NO!!!
There are ways and means of outing these beautiful animals and i am sure they had contacts for ppl who know what to do in these situations.I think the whole police brutality kicked in.Oh we'll just kill it.
THIS IS A BAD ATTITUDE!!!!
And as someone said before very ignorant.
