May 20, 20214 yr Good luck with all that “karate man bleed on the inside” Billy Ray. You’re gonna need it. Holy shit is that G. Esposito?
May 20, 20214 yr Yep. He credits his seminal role in "Taps" for landing him "Prisoner #4" in Trading Places. Supposedly he's gone on to do some other roles, but I dunno.
May 20, 20214 yr In 2020 it looks like 4 adult men in the “Surly Poster” age range (minus ArmyBrat) were killed in a single dog attack in the U.S. I absolutely think a man could “win” a fight with a big dog. What I think is far less realistic is the confidence level and “without serious injuries most of the time” odds I’m seeing. Especially since most healthy people aren’t sticking around to keep fighting the dog but trying to get away (hence the olds being over represented). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fatal_dog_attacks_in_the_United_States

In some cases the injuries would be more severe but not result in death. In this fictitious world we have created where on of the combatants must die, some humans would die and some dogs would die. Is that acceptable?
May 20, 20214 yr man kills coyote with bare hands Florida Man KOs rabid coyote with a single kick. Russian farmer kills wolf with bare hands after it killed his 2 dogs. I can't tell if he is squatting to make the wolf look bigger, but he is definitely holding it out to make it look bigger. Man kills mountain lion with bare hands, interview 52 yr old man kills pitbull that attacked him, choking it to death.

I was not out starting fights, but I got my ass kicked once in a bar, sort of: the dude cold-cocked me, and then I chased him to his car, where he pulled a gun, and then drove off. This was all from me coming to the defense of one of those shit-talking friends....and the fact that I was three Long Island teas deep at the Marquis II. (If you know, you know.) The second time was similar, minus the gun, and that time, it was my ex-wife who I was defending. New Year's Eve yada yada.

And she would assist Townes when he was shitfaced (which was every day) by kind of leaning into him while he staggered around. She was amazingly gentle, but it was a given that if anyone fucked with Townes they would die. She lived past 20 years.... Did you know Townes?!?
May 20, 20214 yr 15 hours ago, ztejas said: Dude... your debate skills are terrible. That is the dog's OWNER. He isn't TRYING to kill the dog. You really don't think he could choke that dog out from that position? He is EASILY doing what I have been telling you would be one of the best ways of doing it. As for the Doberman video - that shit gets out of hand quickly but that dumbass is still able to protect himself decently (albeit with a little help) - and again - endgame there is not killing the dog. There aren't any throats or faces being ripped off instantly. But I will say that in the "large dog" umbrella a Doberman is one that I would be least interested in fighting to the death. Funny how I have yet to see any examples of a standard poodle or Labrador retriever killing or maiming someone. I'm probably wasting my time here though anyway since you think a 120 POUND wolf is somehow the same thing as any breed of dog. You realize most of the "vicious killing instinct" has been bred out of most breeds right and to some extent all of them? Maybe I'll find some 7th graders you can have this discussion with. Here's a similarly sized wolf vs. dog. The dog is done in almost instantly. I'm half expecting 956's next example to be a coyote killing a toddler. This is really sad to watch. Back to the medium dog argument. Temperment is a huge factor. A pit bull is different than my goldendoodle.

May 20, 20214 yr I've always thought I'd go for the eyeballs first. I saw that in some, gouging eyes but I guess the dog ran off from those attacks ceased and the person didn’t chase down the dog. The mountain lion one is really amazing, that is a slight but fit dude and how little damage he took was impressive. I cant imaging the mountain lion was very big, but still. I saw a guy interviewed who was bit by a gator while fishing in the everglades, he was a bodybuilder and he claimed he simply opened the gators mouth and pulled his forearm free (it hit perpendicular to forearm) and the gator swam away. If I recall correctly he said the gator wasn’t very big, maybe 4-5 ft. Impressed me as a kid.

I read a separate article that said the mountain lion was under a year old, so still learning how to hunt and not fully grown.

Orcas are also more intelligent and perceptive than sharks and can instantly file you in “not food/threat/sex buddy” categories and thus do not care.

Animals have no brakes, every single ounce of energy is going to go into turning you into quivering hamburger meat. The dog is a good example, you might come away if the goal is to get you away from its territory and you have an exit. If it’s a cage match and only one of you is coming out—- you might win but you aren’t gonna feel like you won. And an adult male chimp is going to end your world, if you live it’s gonna be without balls, a face, eyes, and several digits. Chimp would be the last on the list I'd want in a cage match. At least with the others the death would be quicker.

Not your tail wagging lab. Although labs put a hell of a lot of grown people in hospitals each year. I love how many dudes think they are just gonna power through a serious bite. Yep.

Hate to get too granular, but curious how it happened. Like was he hiding and caught the dog off guard with an object? Wearing long sleeves? If he's gangster he may not be an average man. So, point to you, average man may be able to handle a big dog.

Huskies really aren't that big, so while that wolf is big, it looks bigger if you are expecting the husky to be bigger. Males usually range from 45-60 lbs. Females from 35-50. Malamutes, which people sometimes confuse with Huskies, on the other hand, get about 85 pounds for males and 75 for females.
