Which Animal Could You Beat in a Fight?

[Gyakuto105]

Well, this is really eye opening and throws up more questions than it answers.

Less than 100% of people think they could beat a rat/cat in a fight? Why are Americans more confident than Brits? Is it our natural self-effacement? Could it be because you have greater access to guns? What constitutes a medium sized dog? Why weren’t Polar bears included?

Please study this carefully and post a serious comment…no time wasters

I’m never unarmed. So, I dunno.

 

[Gyakuto105]

I said no time wasters.

 

[Xue Sheng98]

I'm sorry, but after really taking time to think about this, there is no serious answer

The figure for geese let me tell you is wildly optimistic

 

[Prince_Alarming105]

This needs to be verified by experiment. Modern martial arts demand aliveness and pressure testing. It would make for an intriguing 'sparring' session

What would a goose do, unrestricted whatever violent thing it wanted to do to a person? Peck, bite with a toothless beak? Flap it’s wings in your face? Unpleasant, perhaps but not dangerous.

They compensate for lack of natural weapons with sheer ferocity. They're also bigger than you'd think.

Like that guy who posted a video of himself scrabbling with a parcel knife?

A bear would calmly eviscerate it’s assailant without so much of growl.

Could be, I don't remember that. But there are credible reports of geese breaking people's arms. If I was to keep an animal for meat it would be geese as I would have no compunction whatsoever about killing the little bar stewards.

"Paddington sighed. This guy was clearly not listening. He ripped the man's intestines out and strangled him with them"....

I have won AND lost fighting chickens.

My vicar has a cockerel that feels the need to attack absolutely everyone who comes into the chicken pen. You have to carry a broom to fend him off...

I’d rather take on the cobra than an angry goose.

Incorrect. They can bite hard enough to draw blood through pants and possess a sharp spike on the wing. You go wrestle one on video and then we shall see.

Now I know you’re pulling my leg!

Anyway, the urban myth pertains to swans…

What constitutes a loss? Sure a firm grasp on it’s head and a pull and it’s a win…although not for the chicken…

It seems chemicals in our water supplies are indeed feminising the worlds men…

Ah you say that now, but I will wager the angry goose will leave you questioning your manhood. They are, however effectively dissuaded by a protective pit bull. My dog has successfully defended me on a couple occasions when I was smashing goose nests at my parents cattle ranch in Oregon. They build nests in spring near the house and then viciously attack anyone walking near. They have learned respect for Ajax, as he brooks no aggression towards me.
