Given that in some parts of the world these animals are eaten as everyday food…one has to wonder if some would confuse this gardening tool as a kitchen appliance?

Question: Can this product only be used to decapitate lawn animals? Or can it be used to decapitate other sorts of animals? What about, say, a water buffalo? Or a marmot? Or an investment banker?

NOT fucking cool. I happen to actually like reptiles, I like animals period. Clearly, somebody wasnt thinking about their proper target audience.

Why cannot they do vegetarian ones?
I used to mown lawn back in my badly paid years and all things I ever hit were apples and mushrooms. Apples smell very tasty when you smash them good with mower!

I keep wanting to comment, and my brain keeps locking up.

Beautifully shot and executed, but if you’ve ever hit a critter with a mower the ads really only inspire a visceral mixture of disgust and guilt.

Totally personal reaction, but one strong enough that I can’t simply set it aside.
