Are+tarantulas+venomous?

Are tarantulas venomous?  In the story “the man with the enormous wings” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez an angel falls from the sky and is treated like crap. The family Pelayo and Elisenda make money off him and they still make the angel sleep in the chicken coop. The family goes from being poor to getting a two story house and making their way through life. The angel denies every food except egg plant mush. In the story a girl gets hit by lightning and becomes half tarantula and half human and the crowd goes to watching her instead of the angel. At the end the angel flies away and never returns to the town.  In the picture above a spider is eating a mouse. The tarantula is a hairy spider it grows 2 to 10 centimeters and its part of the theraphosidae family there are around 900 species of them world wide. The tarantula is not dangerous to humans some have even been popular for animal trade. The tarantula's bite has never claimed a humans life the bite is no worse than a wasp sting. Before biting the spider stands up on his upper body and shows its fangs. The male is smaller than the female.

.  My thoughts on the story is that spiders can be deadly. Tarantulas are not to be fooled around with they can actually kill like every other venomous spider in the world. The story was not realistic but exciting in a way because who would know that people will treaty a angel like garbage.They put him in a chicken coop and made money off him and he got nothing in return. In the picture below it shows the man with the enormous wings.
