Doesn’t matter Mikey , I’ve got my excuses already rehearsed

‘I’m shocked - they are usually great around kids’

’i snuggle up with them all the time, I’ve never been stung’

’they are really soft hearted , this is sooo out of character for them ‘ etc

I’m currently training a horde of malaria carrying mosquitos as part of my plan to take the neighborhood.

Thing is - with these things - you won't have any means, they are fucking massive, and very powerful animals who are more than capable of overpowering an adult male human being - we didn't survive in the past fighting wolves without weapons.

The mentality of anyone getting a dog as anything except a loved family pet escapes me. This includes the fuckwits with "status" dogs, the fuckwits flooding rescue centres with Dogs they paid 4k for in lockdown without thinking how they would look after them going forward, the fuckwits who buy Dogs to breed them when it's arguable if they should be allowed to breed themselves.

I'm with the ban on this breed, but also we need to go further, massive regulation of breeding, licensing of ownership, make people realise that taking on a Dog is a massive responsibility, close to taking on a child.

A XL bully weighs between 30 and 60kg. There’s no picking up and swinging one for most people.

It's amazing what adrenaline can do.

And the dog has a lot more of it than you do.

I'm going for the zombie pets. But don't worry guys, it's the owner not the zombies. They're fine, honestly.

Given that man is the most dangerous animal, I'm going to have my 83-year-old neighbour John.

Lethal with a catheter bag.

Sporky · September 2023

He's surprisingly spry.

I wouldn't go into a pagga with Nicholas from the other next door. Lovely chap but a stiff breeze might well shatter him.

Exactly this! Talk of defending against these specialised killers using keys, screwdrivers, cheese wire, biro pen, 28lb sledge hammer, ralgex spray, Japanese Santoku chef knife, angle grinder . . . By the time you defend yourself damage will be done

I want to be safe to go for a pleasant walk in the fucking park!

Bad enough defending oneself but in charge of children!?

Dangerous dogs and dickheads is a recipe for disaster. The expression mercy killing comes to mind. The law punishes for crimes committed, I don't want revenge, I don't want trouble.

Rewire it live as an electric execution tool

Actually a very good example.

A large dog can be trained to bring down hefty running blokes who are used to fighting and built for crime... an EVEN LARGER dog that is built to kill you, you have no chance whatsoever unless you are armed.

Even then, it's a bit like the tracker in Africa who said about being out with Lions that he was still very nervous of them. When asked why, he said if a lion charges you then you have one shot with a rifle, maybe two, before he's got you, and you have to hit it in exactly the right spot, while terrified and off your tits on adrenaline or you will just piss it off more.

It's better to avoid the lion, unless you are Idris Elba of course.

This is all nonsense. As mentioned in this much older comment in a different thread:

https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/comment/3581959/#Comment_3581959

and in the following comment in this thread:

https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/comment/3678109/#Comment_3678109

any vicious dog can easily be controlled by grabbing its "hips" and bending its back legs upwards in a physiotherapy / chiropractic / yoga manipulation. The person posting that advice has personally seen it in action and used to great effect.

I suspect that this would take an awful lot of training to perfect though, because a dog's hips are behind the dangerous end of the dog

Defence lawyers will actually argue that cadaver dogs are only trained on pig flesh and any evidence based on their searches isn’t reliable.

scrumhalf · September 2023

Okay, I am confronted by one of these savage dogs and have managed to raise its hind legs.

Now what? Wheelbarrow it back to the owner?

It's useful information but it feels like only half of the story.

I'm fairly certain that advice confuses the best way of dealing with an out-of-control dangerous dog (several rounds from a firearm) with trying to entice it to dance a Tango.

TeleMaster · September 2023

People think that it's easy to just face down a monster dog and stay calm, or do a front flip over it and as above, wheelbarrow it back to its owner. It's bollocks. What happens is you shit yourself and that's the end of it.

If you're standing next to a cliff, I'd suggest dangling it over the edge and letting go.

That advice is...pretty dangerous, not least because canine standard practice when fighting is to keep you at the business end. Getting past the toothy end of a dog that's faster than any human and doesn't like you very much...well, that's a big ol' nope from me.

Sassafras · September 2023

I'd love to see how someone manages to lift a dog's backend while its frontend is clamped round that person's throat and its back legs are ripping away at the chest.

Yep - the only circumstance in which it may work would be if there was more than one person present. And to be honest if my big mixed breed mutt was having a go at someone and I had to pick her up by her hips or hind legs, I'd struggle - she's 36kg. And when she was younger she was closer to 50kg (arthritis = diet) so I'd have had no chance.

I suspect this was tongue in cheek.

While a 60 pound dog has hold of your forearm and is trying tear it off at the shoulder joint, how exactly is a person supposed to grab it's hips and bend it's back legs upwards?

Even if you're successful, do you have to cuddle and talk to it after, or maybe share a cigarette?

Philly_Q · September 2023

I have little to say on this topic because I honestly have no idea what the solution to the problem is. But some of the recent comments from bold FretBoarders about how they personally would deal with a vicious dog attack have reminded me of this:

No cuddling, grab it by the hips, stick it in the dogs bottom (to calm it apparently) possibly a good time for a "who's the daddy now" and off you go with no harm to you.

Howdy, Stranger!
