Fighting a dog

Liverpool-Lad · 25 Nov 2007 at 13:37

Yup, itd probably pop like a paintball. Mmmm.

How about this.

We don't fight the dog and just leave it alone.
If it comes at you dont run away just stand there and stare at it. It wont see you as a treat and will leave you alone.
Nobody dies or losses a limb. :rolleyes:

How about this idea if the dog runs & jumps @ you pull it's front legs aprt as hard as you can this will force apart it's rib cage, or if the No Swearing! has got hold of your arm/leg then stick your finger up it's ass.

I don't think anyone was advocating trying to kill dogs for fun. What happens if your stare does sweet f.a.?

i heard if you pull a dogs front legs apart it'll tear its heart in half*

*disclaimer: I heard this when I was about 5

its supposed to tear open the ribcage, either way if you pull them apart its not going to be much good at attacking you is it? laying on the floor with 2 broken legs and all.

A friend tells me his monstrous Greek builder uncle once killed a big dog by catching its front legs as it leapt towards him and slamming it against the floor. Though it's impossible to know whether or not that's BS.

where is the vomiting smilie for that pic?

LOL that huge bodybuilder was accepted to be a photoshop.

If you take a (some breeds of) dog and slam it on the ground hard enough it should do serious enough injury to kill it. I dont see why this shouldnt work. I doubt that the dog would die immediately though. It would be the equivalent of dropping a dog off a tall building and where hitting the ground, the impact should kill it. In the same way, slamming it on the ground/wall with vigour could do fatal damage.

Obviously some fighting breeds like the Pitbull Terrier would be imune to such a move.

badbob · 25 Nov 2007 at 14:51

lol at thinking you can just pickup a dog and swing it around like a ragdoll.

peetee · 25 Nov 2007 at 14:51

would love to try this tbh now

I think dogs bones are the weakpoint(for the smaller fighting ones)

Bennah · 25 Nov 2007 at 14:54

Depends what dog your are facing a guess.

If I was in the case, I would not run for a start. As it would chase you and clamp itself to your leg, then you would be knackered on the floor.

I guess I would just punch and kick the dog best I could. Try and get help.

Had a fight with this one earlier this year.. Only play fighting but he certainly showed me what he is capable of.

Having 12 stone of dog running at you growling with teeth showing is a pretty sure way of turning your trousers brown. Did me and he was just messing. I dread to think what he would do if someone attacked his owners kids. (Very protective of them both)

In effect, what you were doing was wrestling with the dog.

In wrestling, especially, being heavier than your opponent is a HUGE advantage and I get the feeling that the dog had a weight advantage over you. For the most part humans are heavier than dogs.

If you are going to use a 12 stone dog against a human, let that human be a heavy wrestler. I would put up Goldberg or Stone Cold Steve Austin up against your 12 stone brute any day of the week.

Droolinggimp · 25 Nov 2007 at 15:01

Im only 11st (was 11 then) now slightly heavier. Yes we was only wrestling but still, he managed to grab hold of my arm and basicly scare the **** out of me. He knows how hard to bite down when messing around thank god.

So let me get this straight. You are walking on the street, where you make eye contact with:

That brute is not on a leash, would appear to have been abandoned and is staring right at you, growling. You look left. You look right. You look behind. There is no human in sight. It begins to charge you.

Are you honestly telling me you wouldnt run?

Monkey Puzzle · 25 Nov 2007 at 15:14

Depends if they was anywhere nearby to actually run to. If there wasn't then what's the point in trying to run from something that's much faster and with better stamina than you and letting it jump you from behind?

Energize · 25 Nov 2007 at 16:36

I don't see how you could escape from a dog in an open area either, probably best to turn around and give it a mule kick when it tries to jump you.

Charles Bronson, "the most dangerous man in Britain", became a bareknuckle fighter in one of his very few periods of freedom. A group of gippo`s once paid him good money to fight a rotty to the death. He says he shoved his hand down it`s throat and choked it to death.

Perhaps so, but he's (a) very strong and (b) insane. He has the same capacity for mindless violence that dogs have - to act with total violence, without thought and without feeling any pain. We all do, but not to the same extent. Dogs don't have it to the same extent that he does.

I found some sympathy for him when he was describing one of the few times he was out of jail and how he was trying to control himself, in a toilet in a train, pouring cold water in his face because he'd said something he meant as a joke ("I'm going to London to kill the Queen") and other passengers were unsettled by it.

Wrong.

If you stare at a dog it will see you as a threat. If it's big enough, it might see you as a treat as well

Amongst many animals, including dogs, that is what a stare is - a threat and a challenge. Come to think of it, it works that way amongst humans too.

So what you are advocating is trying to intimidate the dog. The message of staring is "I am more dangerous than you. Wanna try?"

Which might well work if the dog isn't already determined to attack. Dogs are comfortable in a hierarchical structure and are used to determining relative status by conflict.

This works on many animals. I know someone who intimidated a bull that was threatening him, by charging the bull. Seriously - if you have the nerve to do it convincingly, with a lot of noise, movement and aggression, you can fool a bull, especially an inexperienced bull, into thinking you are more dangerous than he is. Wave a coat around your head, a dog lead (makes a nasty whistling sound), anything to hand, charge the bull and make a lot of noise, shouting threats and obscenities, anything really aggressive. You can cow a bull

and it will then back down and retreat. Or maybe call your bluff and kill you. There's a man in Africa who does it with elephants when necessary - he takes tourists out for photographs and sometimes the bull of the herd will take umbrage.

Maybe not - humans don't sprint very fast. I think a large dog could run down a human over a short distance.

I have heard similar stories to this also
