Or at least showed how to do this properly Out of the thousands of snakes he has cauhgt most of them would have died from septic injuries caused by broken ribs. It takes weeks for a snake to die like this and i feel sorry for any animal this cowboy has touched Please read this thread. http://www.aussiepythons.com/forum/showthread.php?t=55742 Barry Goldsmith Wildlife controller and carer.

Mr Page you seem to raise concern in the local papers about issues but how often do you raise these concerns in Parliament? How about you go to Parliament raise this issue then try and work out where you can get funding rather than whingeing all the time and doing nothing. Does George work with any other organisation or is he independent? Maybe for cost effectiveness he needs to work with a co-operative.

Not only is The Snakeman saving peoples lives but he is saving the lives of the snakes that he rescues. I recently found out that it is a massive fine to kill native Australian snakes, but without having a service such as the Snakeman, many people are left with no other option. As a father of two little girls, I know that I cannot afford to risk leaving an Eastern Brown in the backyard. Great services such as this and WIRES need to be supported as much as possible. I also agree.
