For once, this kind of public complaint was dead on accurate. Indeed, when the Sydney Funnel Web spider is considered, “dead on” is totally right since those things have highly neurotoxic venom that can kill and adult, let alone a small child. Little kids should be encouraged to play with Aussie spiders as much as they should be encouraged to play with loaded guns, the risk with both being about the same.

Peppa Pig is a favorite around here because my grand-daughters watch it. However, picking up a poisonous spider is not wise. Poor writing, no editing, in my opinion.

What bs is this. Even small spiders can give a nasty bite. Then there are black widows in many places. This claim about spiders is plain wrong.

Maybe the ourpose is a further reduction of population.

In the US the fiddleback and the black widow can cause serious injury.

I think we can all agree that the producers of the show are real idiots.

Is Peppa Pig a scientific educational show, or entertainment?

Is Al Gore’s movie allwed there?

".......the huntsman’s leg span can be as large as 16cm..."

Come now. I am an American. This means nothing to me. Is it like 7 feet?

Don't know about Australia, but in the northeast USA we don't have a lot of deadly spiders to worry about. I stopped vacuuming up spiders and spider webs in our house a couple of years ago.

Letting the spiders live has a great benefit: They eat all the pest insects. For years I had a problem with meal moths (nasty things that get into your cookies, cereal, flour, bread etc - laying their eggs - which soon hatch into gross little worms).

Most pesticides make me sick, so having the spiders eat up all the meal moths was great.
