Bendigo: emphasis on “Bend”. You do say the rest, but almost like an afterthought. Also, the second “A” is silent: sarsp’rilla. More emphasis on the “rill”.
That was a carpet snake and not a big one. They get a lot bigger. They are not venomous but neither are dogs and you don't want to get bitten by a dog.
The fable goes like this. A “tender-hearted” woman finds a wounded snake on the road. She takes it in and nurses it back to health. The snake, revived, bites her. The woman, dying, asks why did you bite me “‘Oh, shut up, silly woman,’ said the reptile with a grin. ‘You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in.’”
Regarding the shopping cart, they're supposed to clip into the back of another cart, but due to bad design, he was able to clip it back into the cart itself and get his money back.
Regards the shopping trolley, the dongle or key on the end of the chain is supposed to not be able to be plugged into its own lock. If this is possible then on can reclaim the coin, usually a dollar, that one inserted to release the trolley without the need to return the trolley to the parking rack, usually the primary purpose of this kind of set-up. Someone messed up badly and made the chain a link or two too long.
That's exactly what happened. Been reported he bailed 2 days after and now police say they know the name and everything but won't say which country he is from @@ozemale6t928
They only minted them in the one year before the price exploded. Between 1965 (the design) and 1968 the silver price almost tripled. It also meant that most of them never circulated.
At my shopping centre in Campbelltown NSW, we have Aldi, with Coles next door and Woolies upstairs. People shopping at Aldi would always take Coles trolleys into Aldi so they wouldn’t have to use a coin for the Aldi trolleys. Cole’s got wise and replaced all their trolleys with coin ones. For the next few weeks most people started taking the Woolies trolleys. Woolies got wise and replaced all their trolleys with coin ones too. I do click and collect shopping (direct to boot) so I don’t need a trolley.
Decimal currency was introduced into Australia on the 14th February 1966. They no longer make round 50cent coins, also use less precious metals in them; currently the silver in the coin is much greater in value, than it's minted value. Pre-decimal coins actually had greater amounts of precious metals in them.
50 cent coins were even disappearing in bulk to Asia in the 60s to be melted down. The government realised straight away that they had stuffed up with the silver amount. That's why there wasn't a 1967 mintage.
Australian news always leads with police and court reports. I hate it. Most countries don’t do it - mostly because it would clog the news in larger populations - but it gives the impression there’s constant mayhem in Australia
G'day Ryan, the reason that people think that the weather is hot is because today is the last day of WINTER. Remember that whole southern hemisphere thing. Sarsparilla is the same as Root Beer.
Ryan, that hail is small in comparison to some of the hail we get in Oz. I've seen some bigger than tennis/cricket balls .... and they can be spiky too.
I live in Bendigo Victoria Australia and the day those giant hailstorms hit was crazy....massive storms, heaps of lightning and very loud thunder. We have been getting some very crazy weather lately.
@@davidjames149 Yes, other colours are often just monitoring blocks and non-toxic, which I suspect these are. There is one red bait, but this doesn't look like it. And it's not necessarily deadly to dogs either. They'd have to eat about 80+ blocks to be killed. It has an antidote of Vitamin K1 too.
The park where the baby was burned is right across from where I live. It’s a beautiful place and very popular but apparently we are not allowed to have nice things.
FYI the round 50 cent piece was special because they only made round ones in 1966. Every other year they have not been round. I've got about 80 of the round ones.
Back in the 60s as a kid in Queensland you grew up on Sarsparilla. (Pronounced: Sars-Par-ella).Then we moved to NSW and it was impossible to find for decades.
The kangaroo took off from a mound in the back corner of the yard, got himself onto the top of the fence (about five feet upwards) and used that to kick off from and launch himself into the next yard. It wasn’t all in a single bound like Superman! LOL! 🇦🇺😃👍
The Coles Activation thing was blown out of proportion, Windows is extremely bad with its activation, if it cannot call home periodically to re-validate the activation. If the Terminal cannot connect to Microsoft, it will fail Activation until it reconnects.
Yep. Companies the size of Coles have Enterprise licensing agreements, they will pay for the software in one big contract payment. This was just a failure to activate the terminal for some reason. Like Ryan I'm constantly surprised Windows is used for devices like this, it's a terrible choice for an embedded system
The "kangaroo" wasn't a kangaroo, just a smaller cousin, a wallaby. An eastern grey kangaroo would have easily cleared the fence in one bound. The "snake" wasn't a snake, it was a diamond python. They're great for keeping rodent and brown snake populations under control.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that kangaroo looks like the one who got up on the roof in a previous video. I think it makes a habit of it, but on that day it was so windy he was blown off course and missed the roof. The weather has been crazy windy lately.
I love Sarsaparilla! It’s a brewed soft drink like ginger beer but has a totally different flavour, more of an aniseed flavour. Bundaberg is a city in Queensland that has an abundance of sugar cane, macadamia nuts and other produce. They’re most famous for Bundaberg Rum and consequently Bundy and Coke. They’re also famous for their delicious Nougat (pronounced “noo-gah” because it’s a French word), in both hard and soft forms. Bundaberg also brews soft drinks in many flavours, the best of which is their Sarsaparilla! Schweppes is a great recipe to have when you don’t want to consume too much of the sarsaparilla plant. (Sars-parilla). Walmart imports products from Bundaberg so look there if you want to try something.
We have had 2 hale storms where the hale was the size of full toilel paper rolls. That was at Pipers creek in the mid 1980s. The hale went through tin roofs and killed some live stock in paddocks. We had another hale storm from Rolands planes to Kundabung (NSW) where the stones were the size of dinner plates. Most people had to replace roofs solar panels and plastic tanks. This was only several years ago.
Silver wasn’t as precious back then, and 1966 was the first year of decimal currency in Australia. Everyone who was alive in 1966 remembers the jingle for decimal currency. It’s even on RUclips, both the abbreviated version and the full version.
Ryan, yes the coin payment box on the trolley is to encourage the shopper to return the trolley, and most of the time it works, but many people still leave them in the carpark, or take them home if they dont live too far away. If you get two trolleys, and bring them home, you just need to lift the handle of one trolley on top of the handle of the other trolley (back to back) and slot each chain into the other trolley box and you get both your coins back. I often see them left like that near my place. Coles and Woolies aslo employ people to go pick them up, some drive round streets to pick abandoned trolleys up left in streets.
Yeah I like sarsaparilla. Pronounced: SARSS-PAH-RELLA. It's too sugaryfor me to drink all the time though. It's very tasty, to me. Some people think it tastes like a cleaning fluid. Bundaberg is ginger beer, Bundaberg may also make sars; I think they may make kambucha too, but I'm not sure.

6:28 Rat bait mate. Meant to be handled with gloves on btw. Holes in the center are where you put the screw through the bait to hold it into the bait box.
Exactly! The pythons are non venomous and make great pets. The small ones are usually venomous and the ones to avoid. Even tiny whip snakes are venomous. But they're cute.
And to think I applied for my first passport decades ago and the piece of identification was an extract of my birth certificate! Not even a full certificate. 😅

I was playing golf at the Wembley Golf Course in Perth in the early 80's when a hailstorm hit. I was waiting for the green to clear when I heard a thud next to me. I immediately turned around to see which idiot had hit the ball when there was another thud quickly followed by a lot more. I quickly grabbed my buggy and took shelter under a tree. The storm took less than 10 minutes to pass. The fairway was now completely white with golf ball size hail. It took me about another 10 minutes to find my ball.
A bloke I work with had a call from his wife saying there was a snake in the yard so he went home to deal with it. He picked it up by the tail and dropped it into a garbage bin then called the snake handlers to come get it. He's pretty clueless about snakes and was surprised when the handlers came all decked out in protective gear. It turned out it was an Eastern Brown which is at the top of the list of the world's venomous snakes and they were horrified to know what he'd done. Ignorance might be bliss at times but in this case he was damn lucky.
(sars-pa-rell-la) or sarsaparilla is a drink you need a very acquired taste for, think of it like the Liquorish of the Soft drinks world. We call our 'sodas' Soft drinks because it's non-alcoholic. we don't call them soda's, pop, cola they are all just soft drinks. now i very much love sarsaparilla, but my friends thinks it taste like liquid toothpaste soo each to their own. (i actually don't like Vegemite but my whole family does) edit: also 1:40 ; the chain for the shopping cart has always being too short for you to lock them yourselves to not get your money back to exactly what you thought to encourage returning the shopping cart, the point of the photo is that they finally managed to lock the cart with its own lock.
I live near the blue mountains folks- its been cold as - 1 degree here and top of 14 today.. Snow from the Kosciusko blows up the great dividing range and we feel it. It's not hot everywhere in Australia..its cold here, Canberra and Tasmania, and pretty cold in Melbourne sometimes.
Raygun (the graffiti artist) has been around for yonks. he's up all over Sydney. hard to say if he's hating being associated with the "breakdancer", or if he's happy his stuff is getting posted a lot
As a kid growing up in the South Australian mallee farms and small towns along the coast I have seen kangaroos go under, over, through and get tangled in fences. Trying to help a roo get out of a cyclone fence with twin barb lines on top requires quick reflexes and sometimes wire cutters. I have seen the old man emu do some strange acrobatics when facing fences too. They seem to tumble through a fence and with the amount of feathers left behind it's surprising their not bald when they exit on the other side.
That's crazy! A passport here in Ireland costs €75 if you apply online, €80 if you apply in the post office, or €150 for an in-person same-day turnaround at the passport office.

Hi Ryan I'm Vaughan from Australia when I heard about the boiling hot coffee on the baby that made me sick and made cry when I heard it what person would do such a terrible thing
I bloody just went through my doberman eating rat poison. Was having my morning coffee and he was chewing something at my feet and I looked down and he’d managed to crack open a bait trap and was happily chewing away at the poison. I immediately realised I had to treat this as a worse-case scenario, called the vet and dragged him out to my ute, which overnight had gotten a flat tyre ffs. Drove him there anyway while putting on my dark knight voice and saying “Stay calm, you’ve been poisoned!” We induced vomiting and gave him the antidote. (Vitamin K) elapsed time between ingestion and violent expulsion was 20 minutes lol. He’s fine btw… The amount of effort he had to go through to actually get to the rat bait was next level. It involved him breaking into the shed, climbing over some stacked crates and in behind a set of shelves to something that I’d put there 2 years ago while experiencing a biblical-level rat plague. Apparently dobermans are one of the smartest breeds but I’ve yet to see any evidence of it! Just glad that he didn’t break into the nuclear waste that I’m also storing there “for a friend” Anyway he’s also now in charge of getting rid of the radioactive mutant rats …
That's actually a really big snake, it looks like a giant coastal carpet python at about the biggest they can get. They aren't aggressive and you can usually get up close to them but at that size I wouldn't get too close and keep an eye on your pets! The snake looking in the window is the same type.
This is the old Coin. The 50c is, and has been for some decades a dodecagonal (12 sided) Coin. The silver is to hard to separate from other metals, without the right equipment and if done incorrectly can be very hazards.
The giveaways for RAM being an unmarked vehicle are those two small bar LED lights below the number plates. All cops have them installed in the vicinity of the plates.
It's technically not the same drink. Both beverages are named after their distinct differences in ingredients when they were first made. Sarsaparilla was made from the Sarsaparilla vine, while Root Beer, roots of the sassafras tree. These days, Root Beer recipes do not include sassafras as the plant has been found to cause serious health issues.
I was on the back roads out near a dairy farm and saw a snake so big that it went from one side of the road to the other side of the road and had part of it's body still in the grass so I couldn't tell exactly how long it was. It was so big I felt like it was big enough to eat me so I ended up slamming the car break on and backing up and turning around to take another road to my destination. I was scared if i drove over it that it could flick up under the car and possibly eat me when I went to get out. That was the second snake I saw which I thought could possibly eat me and I'm in SA where the snakes are not supposed to get that big.
One of the more intense Hail storms passed directly over the capital city of Perth between 3:30 pm and 5:00 pm on Monday 22 March 2010. As of 2024, it is still the costliest natural disaster in Western Australian history, with the damage bill estimated at A$1.08 billion.
Worked as a courtesy driver for City Motors when the hailstorm hit. I was on my way back to the yard from Perth CBD and stopped under the Mounts St Bridge until it passed. When I got back one of my colleagues told my Mercedes bore the brunt of the storm. When I checked the vehicle It was completely unscathed, not even a dimple. The were several new and used cars damaged in the storm. Dealerships in Osborne Park copped the worst damage from the storm. The worst hit was the Audi Centre.
Sarsaparilla or Sars taste similar to a traditional US Root Beer. Root beer is made using the root bark of the sassafras tree Sassafras albidum or the vine of Smilax ornata as the primary flavour. These days, Root Beer recipes do not include sassafras as the plant has been found to cause serious health issues. Where as the Sarsaparilla was made from the Sarsaparilla vine. Nowadays Root beer uses Sarsaparilla vine to give it a similar taste & familiar taste.
That snake was about the size of the one I hunted away from our pet cockatoo outside my window. Completely harmless to me, but I’d say it was trying to get our bird. Mind you Tigger would have ripped it to shreds with his claws and beak lol. Once I moved it away, I got the snake catcher to come collect it.
Frequently in old American Westerns, a guy goes into a bar and asks for sarsaparella. That's where I 1st heard about it. It's a Native American drink originally, I believe.
Now! you know why Aussies don't raise them for meat, the cost of a fence high enough to keep them in would be too expensive.🤣🤣🤣🤮We only have roo shooters out here😂😂
FYI - Animals on the Australian Coat of Arms [Emu/Kangaroo] meaning? both animals can not walk backwards, so the motive is that we are always moving forward. Another less known fact, how many countries in the world eat the animals represented on their coat of arms?
The round 50c coin was too similar to the 20c coin and sight impaired people could not tell the difference between them by feel. So the 12 sided 50c coin was designed to solve the problem. All Australian currency, including notes, is designed with sight impairment in mind and can to be read by touch.
That’s rat bait - you can buy the plastic boxes to put the bait in and slide under a couch or something. If someone threw these out in a park or yard then they are definitely trying to kill a dog, cat or possum. Really nasty to do something like that.

Kangaroo was trying to get distance as well as height from that double jump by jiggling his mid section
The town with the huge hailstones (Bendigo) is pronounced Bendy-go 😄👍
I love sarsaparilla
6:28 Rat bait mate. Meant to be handled with gloves on btw. Holes in the center are where you put the screw through the bait to hold it into the bait box.
Honestly it’s the small snakes you’ve got to worry about
Exactly! The pythons are non venomous and make great pets. The small ones are usually venomous and the ones to avoid. Even tiny whip snakes are venomous. But they're cute.
The NEW "Flying Kangaroo", probably more reliable and cheaper than Qantas. 😂
If you think the snakes are bad, you should see the lizards.
Aust Passport is $398/10yrs before postage which is another $200aud ($268.26usd), renew. Easily the most expensive peice of paper I'll ever own
And to think I applied for my first passport decades ago and the piece of identification was an extract of my birth certificate! Not even a full certificate. 😅
@@TraceyBurton-gs6jm insane.
Sarsaparilla is my fave. I gave my cat a sniff and she gagged 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
😂 another one come out this week
One jumping like this on to fence then on roof of house
He skipped up to the peak stopped and had a look around
Pretty rare I've never seen it before
Cheers mate 🦘🇦🇺👍
I was playing golf at the Wembley Golf Course in Perth in the early 80's when a hailstorm hit. I was waiting for the green to clear when I heard a thud next to me.
I immediately turned around to see which idiot had hit the ball when there was another thud quickly followed by a lot more. I quickly grabbed my buggy and took shelter under a tree.
The storm took less than 10 minutes to pass. The fairway was now completely white with golf ball size hail. It took me about another 10 minutes to find my ball.
A bloke I work with had a call from his wife saying there was a snake in the yard so he went home to deal with it. He picked it up by the tail and dropped it into a garbage bin then called the snake handlers to come get it. He's pretty clueless about snakes and was surprised when the handlers came all decked out in protective gear. It turned out it was an Eastern Brown which is at the top of the list of the world's venomous snakes and they were horrified to know what he'd done. Ignorance might be bliss at times but in this case he was damn lucky.
(sars-pa-rell-la) or sarsaparilla is a drink you need a very acquired taste for, think of it like the Liquorish of the Soft drinks world.
We call our 'sodas' Soft drinks because it's non-alcoholic.
we don't call them soda's, pop, cola they are all just soft drinks.
now i very much love sarsaparilla, but my friends thinks it taste like liquid toothpaste soo each to their own.
(i actually don't like Vegemite but my whole family does)
edit: also 1:40 ; the chain for the shopping cart has always being too short for you to lock them yourselves to not get your money back to exactly what you thought to encourage returning the shopping cart, the point of the photo is that they finally managed to lock the cart with its own lock.
I live near the blue mountains folks- its been cold as - 1 degree here and top of 14 today.. Snow from the Kosciusko blows up the great dividing range and we feel it. It's not hot everywhere in Australia..its cold here, Canberra and Tasmania, and pretty cold in Melbourne sometimes.
Raygun (the graffiti artist) has been around for yonks. he's up all over Sydney. hard to say if he's hating being associated with the "breakdancer", or if he's happy his stuff is getting posted a lot
I thought it said “Ray gum”, not gun.
Not Ben Deego, but Bendy-Go
Imagine sitting having a quiet drink on your back deck and over your fence comes a flying kangaroo.
As a kid growing up in the South Australian mallee farms and small towns along the coast I have seen kangaroos go under, over, through and get tangled in fences. Trying to help a roo get out of a cyclone fence with twin barb lines on top requires quick reflexes and sometimes wire cutters. I have seen the old man emu do some strange acrobatics when facing fences too. They seem to tumble through a fence and with the amount of feathers left behind it's surprising their not bald when they exit on the other side.
Thanks Ryan for this video...always enjoy your reverance and bonhomie...you have a lot of fans here😊
Soon as I saw that kangaroo on the local news I thought of you Ryan 😂
Australian Passports have gone up in price to $398AUD from the 1st July (Fiscal Year) which is $270USD with current AUD to USD Exchange Rate
That's crazy! A passport here in Ireland costs €75 if you apply online, €80 if you apply in the post office, or €150 for an in-person same-day turnaround at the passport office.
@@CiaraNíShúilleabháin1990 "The cost of the Aussie passport has officially increased. “It has a high level of technological sophistication, backed by rigorous anti-fraud measures, which ensures its integrity. This is a key reason why Australian passport holders currently receive visa-free access to over 100 countries.”"
@@CiaraNíShúilleabháin1990 one of the measures is it has a different design to the image under UV Lights
Hi Ryan I'm Vaughan from Australia when I heard about the boiling hot coffee on the baby that made me sick and made cry when I heard it what person would do such a terrible thing
Passport recently cost me near $400 for a ten year passport. Perhaps that cheaper one is for just a year or two.
nah there's only 10 year passports, unless you're a kid or elderly in which case it's a 5 year passport
I bloody just went through my doberman eating rat poison. Was having my morning coffee and he was chewing something at my feet and I looked down and he’d managed to crack open a bait trap and was happily chewing away at the poison. I immediately realised I had to treat this as a worse-case scenario, called the vet and dragged him out to my ute, which overnight had gotten a flat tyre ffs. Drove him there anyway while putting on my dark knight voice and saying “Stay calm, you’ve been poisoned!”
We induced vomiting and gave him the antidote. (Vitamin K) elapsed time between ingestion and violent expulsion was 20 minutes lol. He’s fine btw…
The amount of effort he had to go through to actually get to the rat bait was next level. It involved him breaking into the shed, climbing over some stacked crates and in behind a set of shelves to something that I’d put there 2 years ago while experiencing a biblical-level rat plague.
Apparently dobermans are one of the smartest breeds but I’ve yet to see any evidence of it! Just glad that he didn’t break into the nuclear waste that I’m also storing there “for a friend”
Anyway he’s also now in charge of getting rid of the radioactive mutant rats …
That's actually a really big snake, it looks like a giant coastal carpet python at about the biggest they can get. They aren't aggressive and you can usually get up close to them but at that size I wouldn't get too close and keep an eye on your pets! The snake looking in the window is the same type.
This is the old Coin. The 50c is, and has been for some decades a dodecagonal (12 sided) Coin. The silver is to hard to separate from other metals, without the right equipment and if done incorrectly can be very hazards.
The giveaways for RAM being an unmarked vehicle are those two small bar LED lights below the number plates. All cops have them installed in the vicinity of the plates.

Big news of the baby ending up in hospital from the hot coffee pour. What the hell was he thinking?!
If the ra.ces were reversed, it would be treated as a hat.e cr ime.
In the US they call sarsaparilla by another name - "root beer".
Didn't realise that, cheers.
It's technically not the same drink. Both beverages are named after their distinct differences in ingredients when they were first made. Sarsaparilla was made from the Sarsaparilla vine, while Root Beer, roots of the sassafras tree. These days, Root Beer recipes do not include sassafras as the plant has been found to cause serious health issues.
Old cowboy movies I'd see them ask for sarsaparilla😂 It tastes awful .
@@infin8ee I love it, but don't have it very often.
@@DarkMatter1992 As an Aussie-Canadian, I can tell you that's it six of one, half a dozen of the other.
Live just south of Brisbane, had a hail storm a couple of years ago. Hail was size of cricket balls. Put a few dents in the roof.
I was on the back roads out near a dairy farm and saw a snake so big that it went from one side of the road to the other side of the road and had part of it's body still in the grass so I couldn't tell exactly how long it was. It was so big I felt like it was big enough to eat me so I ended up slamming the car break on and backing up and turning around to take another road to my destination. I was scared if i drove over it that it could flick up under the car and possibly eat me when I went to get out. That was the second snake I saw which I thought could possibly eat me and I'm in SA where the snakes are not supposed to get that big.
One of the more intense Hail storms passed directly over the capital city of Perth between 3:30 pm and 5:00 pm on Monday 22 March 2010. As of 2024, it is still the costliest natural disaster in Western Australian history, with the damage bill estimated at A$1.08 billion.
Worked as a courtesy driver for City Motors when the hailstorm hit. I was on my way back to the yard from Perth CBD and stopped under the Mounts St Bridge until it passed.
When I got back one of my colleagues told my Mercedes bore the brunt of the storm. When I checked the vehicle It was completely unscathed, not even a dimple.
The were several new and used cars damaged in the storm. Dealerships in Osborne Park copped the worst damage from the storm. The worst hit was the Audi Centre.
Sarsaparilla or Sars taste similar to a traditional US Root Beer. Root beer is made using the root bark of the sassafras tree Sassafras albidum or the vine of Smilax ornata as the primary flavour. These days, Root Beer recipes do not include sassafras as the plant has been found to cause serious health issues. Where as the Sarsaparilla was made from the Sarsaparilla vine. Nowadays Root beer uses Sarsaparilla vine to give it a similar taste & familiar taste.
I love hearing you try to pronounce words we grew up with. Shows how small your world was as a kid 😊
I was visiting Bendigo last Sunday and was caught in that hailstorm. No damage to the car but it got pretty wild.
The roo double jumping off the fence is so fake it is hilarious.
Love your content Ryan Keep up the g8 work
Sars is Awesome
That snake was about the size of the one I hunted away from our pet cockatoo outside my window. Completely harmless to me, but I’d say it was trying to get our bird. Mind you Tigger would have ripped it to shreds with his claws and beak lol.
Once I moved it away, I got the snake catcher to come collect it.
@4:00 now you understand the QANTAS logo 🤣
That was just a python not poisonous he just wants to cuddle you
It’s a cute, baby one.
Frequently in old American Westerns, a guy goes into a bar and asks for sarsaparella. That's where I 1st heard about it. It's a Native American drink originally, I believe.
Doesn’t bugs bunny or Daffy Duck like “sassy-parilly”?
@@judithstrachan9399 YESERREE! You're right
Now! you know why Aussies don't raise them for meat, the cost of a fence high enough to keep them in would be too expensive.🤣🤣🤣🤮We only have roo shooters out here😂😂
I hope that kangaroo didn't hurt himself when he landed.
You can tell he reacted with surprise at the view ahead when he cleared the fence.
The parkour Kangaro is the good one ! Absolutely classic!
FYI - Animals on the Australian Coat of Arms [Emu/Kangaroo] meaning? both animals can not walk backwards, so the motive is that we are always moving forward. Another less known fact, how many countries in the world eat the animals represented on their coat of arms?

Dayboro Queensland about 50km from Brisbane has been having temps between 10-35 - not such a big deal but the 25 degree range is a bugger!
The round 50c coin was too similar to the 20c coin and sight impaired people could not tell the difference between them by feel.
So the 12 sided 50c coin was designed to solve the problem. All Australian currency, including notes, is designed with sight impairment in mind and can to be read by touch.

That’s rat bait - you can buy the plastic boxes to put the bait in and slide under a couch or something. If someone threw these out in a park or yard then they are definitely trying to kill a dog, cat or possum. Really nasty to do something like that.
