you know, you can be sent to prison for killing a viper here in estonia. altho it's legit if it's a threat to your health.

Burneddi 27 Jul 2011, 13:51
They aren't protected by law in Finland as far as I'm aware, and even if they were, you can only be fined for killing one. I'd imagine you getting jail if you commit a [protected animal] genocide or something.

infi_ 27 Jul 2011, 13:56
didn't know they're protected by law either, until i read an article in the news about the vipers in estonia being somewhat in danger of extinction.
Parent
▼
Burneddi 27 Jul 2011, 13:58
Yeah, but I looked it up a couple of years ago when I killed a few of them. Finland is the only country in Europe where they aren't protected by law.

r they dangerouslicious ?
▼
Altsi 27 Jul 2011, 12:16
Yes, deadly. but quite rare that someone dies to bite :s
Parent
▼
wArdi 27 Jul 2011, 13:50
So...not deadly?
Parent

Burneddi 27 Jul 2011, 13:55
A healthy human past their adolescence will not die of the poison they have. They're mostly dangerous to risk groups (young children and old people especially) and various smaller animals such as smaller breeds of dogs and cats. Unless you're a part of a risk group, you'll be fine without any treatment if you get bitten, but it's still best pay a visit to the clinic anyways.

The venom isn't too potent, there are types of wasps with more toxic stings (although not in Finland). The swelling is the real danger in getting bitten by one, it can be pretty dangerous if your airways swell shut.

So...not deadly unless part of a risk group and his statement should have been worded as such :)

Thomm 27 Jul 2011, 13:56
Deadly for kids / sick people / elder ones, if not treated immediately. Or with allergies etc etc.

walle 27 Jul 2011, 13:02
with shotgun ofc

mana 27 Jul 2011, 13:04
That would be pretty stupid imo. Just use a showel or a rock or something, no need to get firearms dont you think?
Parent
▼
decem 27 Jul 2011, 13:15
use a stick to distract it, grab it by its head and add a little helicopter swing to it while u move your hand to the tail to gain more momentum and fling it 70-100 meters away.

Damn you nerds, you know nothing about nature... I'm sure it was an inoffensive one, like there are thousands in France...

Well dude, due to the large panel of different climats in France, our biodiversity is much higher than in Finland. But you got a point: Finland is more wild and preserved than France.
Parent

Thomm 27 Jul 2011, 14:27
Well, you got warm periods (tihihii, periods) there longer than us sure. But we got the temperature range from +35 to -50 & four full seasons and around 70% 86% (had to check) of our landscape are forrests.
Parent

muuufle 27 Jul 2011, 14:34
yeah you heva beautiful landscapes! But you know, france is not that bad, the total amount of forest in km² is the same than in the middle-age, because all of the ecologist efforts. we got a lot of "new" forest.

Not saying that France is bad, I have loved my both trips there, especially the one to Clermont- Ferrand, beautiful site, havent got those in Finland.

Never killed one, only see them when I'm in italy during summer holidays and there are manymany vipers in that region, so no way I'm gonna start a fight :x
A friend of mine used a stick to annoy one there when we were 14 or so which made me nervous a bit, but apparently it was a not-so-dangerous one..

This is a grass-snake (in french: couleuvre à collier), they are harmless, don't inject any deadly poison. They are easily recognizable because of their yellow necklace, and they don't got a triangle head shape as vipers.

You killed a poor harmless snake, shame on you!

nope, its a Belouška. ofc its harmless where do you think i live in africa?

2 years ago i was going to swim from sauna and on my way to lake (20meters) I almost stepped on snake. It took off and I hunted it down and executed it with nearest suitable weapon. A board.

Was moving some stuff at our house in sweden, discovered a snake's nest there and beheaded one, dam they keep on moving for a long time!
