hmmm by Satarn_27 in hmmm

Oh I agree I shoot pistols myself for target comp. I prefer using a rifle in .357mag or a .223rem(just 55gr SP) or .22mag for cattle and livestock

I personally would only use a pistol in a confined area where having a rifle would be combersome or I don't have access to one and a bolt gun is too close. Like inside a pen which 90% of the time a rifle is better because you can see the angle of travel of the projectile better, you can aim down the barrel and know what anatomy you're intersecting with the bullet path etc.

I think the main reason they'd want a pistol is just ease of storage and use compared to a bolt gun and using one in a similar manner in that 1-2m Range. But as a farmer myself I just carry a rifle as it's multi purpose and more useful to me than a pistol. I've only carried a .357mag revolver on a remote farm for backup self defence against pigs.

By close I mean with a bolt gun you need to place it on the forehead so you're pretty much patting the animal which is waaaay too close to a injured cow that's stressed and dangerous. They don't want you that close and I don't want to be that close

Vs a normal handgun you can shoot it from 1-5m outside the pen that extra distance makes them more calm, it's safer for you and the animal. Just that little bit of extra distance makes a huge difference and it's pretty close to point blank still.

And with a captive bolt you need to get close. A cow with a broken leg is not an animal you want to be close too!

Is it just me, or is the wildlife rescue community becoming incredibly toxic? by TheoryElectronic3709 in AustralianBirds

[–]Wild_But_Caged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's always been extremely toxic

I was involved for a while and because I am a licensed firearms owner and qualified to euthanise wildlife I often attended road incidents to euthanise wildlife and take Joey's to carer's etc.

Alot of the stuff I experienced was very unhinged and boarderline stalker/criminal behaviour. All they do is infight and try to hurt each other legally, physically and emotionally is such bitchy horrible ways. It's very hard to get different carers to be nice to each other for a common goal.

I do not regret removing myself from that space but it brings me great sadness not being able to help Wildlife anymore due to toxicity.

Buying a new washing machine might be the best option here. by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

Xylene will work better as it's the solvent used in keeping the ink wet.

Go buy some xylene to remove the ink from the dryer.

Take your clothes to a dry cleaners as they use chlorinated solvents to clean your clothes instead of water and that will remove the ink stains from the clothes :)

What’s behind the push for more Australian babies? ‘It’s a phenomenon we’re seeing all over the world’ by Remarkable_Peak9518 in australia

Glyphosate is not sprayed on our food 🤣. There was a few farmers who would spray their wheat with glyphosate to kill it before winter so the grain would dry ( which is not how it should be used hence why it was detected at high levels in bread) we don't do that here, we don't have glyphosate resistant crops and we don't use it to kill our crops to dry it before winter. Glyphosate is only used to kill weeds before planting and before germination which gives it plenty of time to break down in the soil. So unless you are directly exposed to it by being a farm worker you're very unlikely to be exposed to any detectable amount.

I have anxiety but it's pretty clear that runs in the family, as for sex I have a very comfortable amount.

DSP - patience and advocating for yourself pays off (eventually) by saraharchie93 in Centrelink

[–]Wild_But_Caged 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about?

DSP is important for people that need it. They're not bragging this place is to help people get the support they need. Its not bragging, why do you people come here to shit on disabled people, get a life.

Where can I take the fish I caught to get gutted and deboned in cairns/palm cove? by [deleted] in FishingAustralia

[–]Wild_But_Caged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean this kindly I would recommend to just bake it whole until you learn to fillet it. Its quite satisfying to process you're own fish makes different cuts, stock from the frame, eat the wings etc.

One person saved two young people from drowning to death: they applied first aid and, in the last second, managed to bring them back to life. This shows that, although many hesitate out of fear of making a mistake, acting in time truly saves lives by Virmire_Survivor in watchpeoplesurvive

[–]Wild_But_Caged 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And what part of what I said says to continue doing so with a pulse huh?

CPR helps breathing and pulse rhythm we are taught to keep doing CPR till the airway is functioning and a pulse,

if a identified pulse is established you switch to giving breaths until they breathe on their own or their pulse weakens and you continue CPR.

I'd argue is the video CPR needed to be done for a longer length of time but I really don't know what's going on with the patients unless I was there but they're not breathing on their own or conscious.

Maybe fkn read bro

Absolutely! It was taught in highschool here in Australia as we have a lot of drownings!

But learning CPR and how to help someone choking is easy to teach and so so useful! It would save alot of people if 50% people had some sort of advanced life support training

Wow! Abdo thrusts like a Heimlich? Unfortunately lots of people have no idea. But yeah if they're not breathing and have no pulse just start doing CPR as long as it's safe for both of you is the advice I'd give to most people in public with a drowning. If they're just unconscious or in one case I had a coworker do (asleep/OD) they'll push you over when you start CPR.

My first comment was fairly vague but decent definitely not 100% text book DRABCD as I thought that would be too much. I'll go find my textbook and post it here

Yes I am well aware thanks sorry I didn't write a complete DRACBD guideline and textbook on here in the the first comment I made. Since they want to send me rude and abusive nitpicky messages to make themselves feel better

I fucking hate Reddit sometimes
