Wouldn't know. Out here, we're not afraid of the beast - why should we
be? We have spiders, and snakes, and kangaroos, and weather, and
desert, and ants, and spiders, and drop bears, and spiders, and
"jelly" (gelignite), and I nearly forgot to mention that we have
spiders. If you feel like disposing of an unwanted Beast, you could do
worse than deposit him somewhere in the Western Australian desert.
It's kinda like sending him to hell, only the postage is cheaper.
