This article raises so many questions.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Isn't there always a spider bonanza in Australia?

Why on Earth would you try to catch one after reading this article?

The last part mentions “drop zones” for captured spiders. I assume the zone they are dropped into is an incinerator.

Wouldn’t you think the heat from the fires would have cooked the spiders in their burrows?

You know maybe it’s time the spiders had a chance to run the continent.

We don’t incinerate them, the drop zones are so we can milk them to create antivenom.

Not everything has burnt yet. These are probably all caught from the suburbs and towns  around Sydney and Newcastle

That’s mostly where they live, they don’t call them the Sydney Funnel Web for nothing.

If you ever come here and see one don’t kill it. We need them to make antivenom. It’s something like 70 milkings to make one vial or antivenom.. and patients usually need 6 or so goals.

Also they’re just spiders doing spider things, they don’t need to die needlessly

incinerators are generally illegal here
