I also note online criticisms by serial complainers and “trolls” of
my naming taxa after animals, in particular the ever complaining
Mark O’Shea and reject them in total.
I happily concede to being an animal lover and one who detests
animal cruelty in all its forms. If by naming a subgenus of
snakes after an animal assists humans in appreciating animals,
their vital role in maintaining our society and our need to care
about their welfare, then I will be happy and satisfied.
PS Oxyuranus is a scientific name for a well-known Australian
elapid snake.
