Are you sure it is a telson?

I think it is a hoax that all scorpions have telsons, never seen one in mine....

PS. 2. Btw, telson is the name for the aculeus (what you call stinger) and venom vesicle together...

I couldn't find anything on the NL/Labrador gov't. website on scorpions at all.
You will have to check your municipal regulations.

Extremely wrong, the person who told you this is clearly no knowledgeable about scorpions in the slightest, i'm surprised they could correctly identify it. There is no law in canada nor a law in any province about venomous insects or arachnids, there may be municiple laws but none say you need to chop off stingers to have the critter, that's just silly.

Chopping off the telson on scorpions is extremely bad, it's like chopping the (not to be vulgar) asshole off a human, literally. The place between the stinger and the next tail segment is where it secretes its feces so nipping it there is like nipping its butt.
