Yeah, it does seem caning is a bit harsh. And maybe the centipede recipient deserved it!

From en.wikipedia.org...

Some species of centipedes can be hazardous to humans because of their venomous bites. Although a bite to an adult human may only be painful, those with allergies that are similar to that of bee stings and small children are at greater risk. Smaller centipedes usually do not puncture human skin.

Search Giant Centipeed on youtube, some of the videos are disturbing if you love mice. The largest ones are quite aggressive.

haha well if yr gonna do it properly u gotta use scorpions or some sort of snake, maybethe guy wanted to just scare them a bit but do no real harm?

I remember a few years back about a guy in the Phillipines let two huge venomous adders into his neighbors house because he was sleeping with his wife. Centepedes sound much more civilized!
