animals you could kill without weapons

[pantherhound]

i was discussign animals you could kill without weaposns. Rules- bare hands and feet. What coud you kill. Horse? Punching ineffectual against? as is cow. Dog yes cat yes all other small animals/rodents yes ranging from crush to chopping right hand. Getting into the larger mammal neighbourhood becomes grey area. giraffe? work the body and e head will fall. Getting to primates becomes tough as they are better fighters. thoughts

[a500lbgorilla]

well, arnt humans considered medium game? So any large game is out of the question.

Bullshit. People have killed large cats with their bare hands.

[spoonitnow]

FWIW I wouldn't be the crazy motherfucker to try it.

[frosst]

bugs. i could kill bugs with my bare hands

[a500lbgorilla]

Couldnt we try to startle large game and chase them off a cliff or something? Is that outside the bounds of bare-hands?

And do you have proof that people have killed large cats with their bare hands?

[will641]

the thing thats stupid about this question is that you could kill any domesticated animal like a dog, horse, or whatever, because they will be very passive, and even if they did retaliate, it wouldnt be until after you got them in a grip they cant get out of.

fwiw i could take a brown bear.

I punched a donkey.

I was in one of those gay donkey sanctuary things (they're everywhere in England and always full of old people).

I was feeding it some grass and the fucker bit me. My natural reaction was to smack it in the face.

I was asked to leave, but I recon if it had come down to it I could have killed it.

[givememyleg]

i would be pretty scared to fight a horse with my bare hands, and a giraffe. a 500 lb gorilla would suck too. man f that i'll just go get my 30 odd 6.

ya right no way it was just bare hands. them wood choppers had spears or something. (saying this without ever looking anything up).

what about a buck? I feel like the horns would give you good leverage to snap the neck, but how strong is a buck's neck?!

It seems like an odd question where you're taking away man's ability to alter his environment to his favor (tools, weapons, traps, teams) and leaving him with just his weak fleshy sack of self. I could not chase down most animals which were prey (those that probably can't fight) and would be unable to defend myself against those which are either larger than me or armed with fangs/claws/other shit that I can't grow.

[givememyleg]

fighting a buffalo would suck. i mean right off the bat i'd go for the eyes or something to render it blind, but still all it would take was just ramming you and and running all over your body and fuck you're dead. plus im 140 lbs and not a 500 lb gorilla.

[pantherhound]

lol this thread was the product of a drunken lunch

there atcually arent that many larger animals that you would call pussies, maybe cows, but trying to strangle a cow (prob best tactic) may still be tough. even sweet horses can turn violent if provoked. fighting a bluffalo would indeed suck, even if you landed a choice uppercut as it came in. you would break your hand. and kicking wont work as you have no shoes on.

the animal would prob have more fighting smarts than you bargain for too. conclusion, most beasts can fight and animal kingdoms in general owns humans.

[ZwiFT]

Its not to much to brag about, but i once killed a sheep, using my bare mind!

I was at my cabbin, way up in the mountains.. And i saw a sheep standing there and i decided to run after it. Little did i know there was a cliff not far away. The sheep got so scared it jumped off the cliff, and i could see the the sheep getting further and further away until it splatted on a stone :/

humans biggest strengths include intelligence (including the ability to create and effectively use tools such as spears) and the ability to communicate (via language).

therefore, give me a large caliber rifle and a couple buddies with the same, and I could take down some of the biggest land animals alive.

[wufwugy]

big cats like lions and leopards (not tigers, well actually maybe small tigers like south china tigers, but no way a bengal) have been killed with bare hands. its obviously by the indigenous folk who live/hunt/track in those areas, and its incredibly rare. the method has to do with something along the lines of when attacked by the cat the man shoves his fist down its throat and chokes it out. i believe about a year ago i read a story of a small guy who was approached by a leopard, dropped his machete in preparation, the leopard pounced, then the guy pulled out its tongue. thats some crazy skill and luck considering that cats most often attack undetected.
heres footage from a documentary called Living With Tigers (super awesome doc, well worth it) where the trainer explains how to survive a tiger attack. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdVTaEiQpJo

and no fucking way any human ever kills a giraffe barehanded. even lions have difficulty with that http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2FPG2wXhXY

whats funny is how you guys think you could kill a dog with your bare hands. yes some humans can, but take the kangal for example. a dog bred to protect sheep from cougars. not like any of your skinny asses would stand a chance against that thing. im pretty big and strong and i think i would only stand a chance against smaller breeds of fighting dogs. a pit bull may only be 40-80 pounds but it will drag and shake your ass across the floor. dogs dont really kill any humans other than women and children though. they're just not efficient enough to kill grown men much, but a grown man killing a dog bred to fuck shit up is an entirely different thing. of course if a man is trained to do it he would be quite successful.

and fwiw, wolves are pussies compared to elite mastiff variations. i would fuck a wolf up.

lol i can't imagine anyone thinking anything but this the first time they see that picture.

[wufwugy]

kangals were/are one of the most elite fight dogs. kinda obvious why. size isn't all though. some of the best fighters are small dogs.

i personally find it kind of a shame that animal fights are illegal. i am very against treating animals improperly like those who fight animals do, but i am also not clueless enough to think that piting animals in duels is cruel and unusual or some shit. anybody who thinks animals fighting/killing each other is wrong is ignorant to how things work in the wild. each and every wild animal is lucky to not get eaten alive, starve or freeze to death, or some other horrible shit that modernized humans no longer endure.

i also think we should bring back the colosseum. perfect way to clean up the prisons and homeless while fixing the economy and naivety.

[wufwugy]

tosa. japanese fight dog i believe.



dogo argentino. bred for hunting and catching wild boar



boerboel. they say the boerboel is the only mastiff left without serious genetic flaws due to over specialized breeding. im hoping to get one someday. also gonna get a bobcat.



im not that huge a dog fan, but i love me some mastiffs.

[ProZachNation]

I have had two mastiffs and now have a newf.

We had to put down our 2nd mastiff because she was too aggressive. And that is a bad combo in a big dog even though she was a runt she still weighed in around 120lb.

Our first mastiff was kinda "slow" like if he was a person he would ride the short bus. But he was a gentle giant all 200lbs of him.

My newf is around 140 I think but looks bigger because of the fur. And we play fight all the time. Inside the house I can kick his ass with a head lock. Outside he beats the shit outa me if I turn my back on him he will charge me knock me down grab my shirt sleeve and drag me across the yard.

Now with out a doubt either of the mastiffs would kill me in a fight but I was younger when we had em. The Newf I think I might be able to kill, he does have a minor case of hip dyspalsia(sp?). I am not to sure though a few times when I have got him on his back and pretend to choke him he has kicked me clear off himself. It is hard to tell because he is so gentle even play fighting he always makes sure to not bite my skin just my clothes(which sucks when he jumps me in nicer clothes)

Cliff Notes: All of my 100+lbs dogs could most likely kill me

crazy stuff, but isn't this probably due to the tiger really getting to know the guy? (just making assumptions based on the title, never seen it before). Maybe if you're attacked by a tiger this is your best chance, as you're certainly not going to out-run or out-fight one. but it seems optimistic at best in a real encounter.

and no fucking way any human ever kills a giraffe barehanded. even lions have difficulty with that http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2FPG2wXhXY

lol no kidding. I didn't watch this vid yet but a giraffe must way what? 2-3000 pounds? 20 feet tall? a human killing it with his bare hands?????

first things that came to my mind were breed, size, training, etc of the dogs. i mean there's just such a vast difference between say, a little poodle, a police K9, or a real badass dog like some of the ones you're talking about. among the fighting dogs, i think just about everybody would get f'd up by them. i mean, most people aren't good at fighting other people, and a dog is far quicker, nastier, faster, more ruthless, has teeth, etc.

lb for lb humans are definitely the weakest creatures on the planet and its not even close

This can't be right. I mean, I can't immediately refute this and I know that humans are VERY far from being impressive purely from a speed/strength standpoint, but I still think it has to be wrong. There have to be some exceptions out there.

[wufwugy]

sorry for the disjointed reply. im busy

tiger, yea its just a moderate defense that could maybe possibly save your life.

weaker than humans, muscularly there probably isnt. looking at it evolutionarily isn't proof, but from that perspective it makes perfect sense.

Wow, good point, I wasn't trying to go down that road but you're absolutely correct.

[cobere]

I got bitten by a German Shepherd in the arm when i was 12. When it happened, the "fight or flight" reflex kicked in and I chose "flight". Nearly got run over by an RV coming down the street lol. The owners (who were sitting with the dog on the porch btw) called it back and I ended up at the corner with blood dripping off my elbow. Nine stitches and I was good to go.

I vowed from that point on that the next time it happened it would be "fight" rather than "flight". Fuck the MFing dog that attacks me next. I don't remember where i got the idea but I heard that you can give the dog your forearm to bite on, put your other arm behind its neck, and *SNAP* fight is over. Yeah you end up with a nasty bite on your arm, but can break the dog's neck and the fight is over.

[wufwugy]

id much prefer jamming thumbs through eyes into brain.

[Lukie]

So one of the things I'm going to try to do this summer is spend more time outside.. stuff like walking, running, maybe try to pick up stuff like biking and/or hiking.

One of the things that kind of scares me is an attack by an animal(s), particularly dogs. Say that situation comes up, what do I do? I'm about 6'3, 200lbs and in very good shape, but the last thing I want to do is fight a rabid/stray dog. Any prevention tips? Say I had no other option but to stay and fight, then what? Keep my composure and try to strangle it? What about carrying some kind of weapon, e.g. pepper spray, a gun (ccw), knife, or sharp stick?

[cobere]

mmm thats much more gross and squishy. Snapped neck FTW. I would think my 2nd choice would be to go for the throat, or possibly the underbelly, depending on how badly I was being mauled/bitten. Face/eyes/nose actually is probably a good idea if you're truly in trouble.

Pretty sure mailmen carry pepper spray in case of dogs.

[wufwugy]

personally i wouldn't worry about it. dogs dont kill grown men. the only problem really is if you let a dog get your throat. other than that they are one dimensional attackers and do not fare well when out of their element.

scaring a dog off is real hard and kinda stupid. they were bred to attack despite odds. a big advantage humans have is that we are multidimensional attackers. a dog is going to go for our arms or legs at first, but then thats all they got. we then have at least one arm free to get them off their feet or fuck with their eye sockets.

honestly, the only kind of dog to be any kind of worried about is one bred for fighting. those dogs are stronger than all others, and they withstand pain better than almost any other animal. even a small pitbull can drag a big man across the ground. even then i personally wouldn't worry about a pit bull. its the larger mastiffs that are gonna be where to worry, but even then i think a large man can hold out for at least a long time, and a large intelligent man can kill it.

dogs are really inefficient at killing singlehandedly. they are against other dogs simply because they can go for the neck. their evolution is that of pack hunting. unlike if youre attacked by a tiger that shits will kill you in a second.

get a dog off its feet and its capability nearly vanishes.

be sure to see a doctor afterwards


oh and snapping a dogs neck is going to be much more difficult than youd think. much much much more difficult. their neck muscles are among the strongest in their bodies. you ever see a mastiff jaws clinging to a handing tire, hanging there jolting back and forth?

[cobere]

Lukie, where do you live? In Colorado on the front range, if you are hiking you really do have to consider mountain lions. There are warning signs on the trails up in the foothills.

They say for mountain lions, make noise at a low pitch (show that you are male) and raise your arms up to look big. Don't fucking run, it triggers the chase impulse in them. They say to pick up small kids so they dont run for that reason.

If they DO come at you, throw shit at them, like rocks, your cell phone, etc. My uncle that lives at the trail head will pick up one big rock and a handful of little rocks if he hears something he doest like. Little rocks to throw in the eyes, and big rock to club it in the head if it comes to that.

oh and wufwugy, good point about the neck. I imagine it would be pretty tough to do that.

[cobere]

Oh and someone correct me if I am wrong, but there is no fighting back against a bear attack. You cover your head and hope to live, amirite?

I'd assume watch your nuts and your throat just from what I've heard/read on occasion. The main point of control on a dog would seem to be it's neck since you can get a good handful of the skin on the back of the neck (which by itself doesn't hurt the dog fwiw) and just go from there. From personal experience (a number of people in my family breed and train semi-large dogs for various purposes) if you get a dog on it's side or back and you have control of its neck then it can't get back up, leaving you numerous options as to how to deal with the situation.

I bet I could too, with a choke hold cutting off the oxygen and staying out of the way of the inevitable flailing. With that process tho, I think you could extend it to bison, and maybe deer/elk assuming you could get close enough to catch them in the first place. Tough call to think you could drag down a bison and choke it to death. I dunno. Packs of wolves do it nicely.

THIS is why we as humans developed weapons in the first place. So we wouldnt have to do this shit lol. Just spear it and let it die, then get it before the other apex predators do.

[a500lbgorilla]

Couldn't you argue that our bare hands are designed (thumbs) to utilize weapons and thus, picking up rocks or sticks in the environment (but not crafting them) should be an aspect of bare hand fighting?

I would think that the males of these species would be more dangerous since they tend to have horns/antlers.
