Stop victim blaming. First they drowned our minds with misinformation, and now they are drowning our dogs. If you knew this all along and said nothing, you've revealed yourself as a traitor.

Perfect response, pp!

Horses and cows and dogs, oh my!

Back in 2011, Australia’s National Coronial Information System (NCIS) released its most recent report into the trends and patterns surrounding animal-related deaths in Australia, covering the first decade of this century.

Of the 254 confirmed and reported animal-related deaths during that 10-year period, horses, cows and dogs were the most frequent culprits, accounting for 137 deaths.
Horses (including ponies and donkeys) were the most ‘deadly’ animal in Australia, causing 77 deaths in 10 years, mostly related to falls. Cows (including bulls and cattle/bovine) accounted for 33 deaths – 16 by causing motor vehicle accidents, the rest by crushing, piercing or ‘unknown’. The majority of the 27 deaths caused by the third biggest killer, dogs, were from attacks, with those deaths mostly occurring in children under four years old and in elderly people.

Shoot the messenger?
In case you hadn’t cottoned on yet, it turns out most of our perception of risk is somewhat out of whack when it comes to judging the likelihood of a deadly encounter with certain animals (what’s scarier, surfing near a river mouth at dawn, or visiting a friend’s dairy farm?).

“Our perceptions of the probability of an event has been shown to depend on its availability – how easily we are able to bring such events to mind,” explains Professor John Dunn, from the University of Adelaide’s School of Psychology.

“Events appear on the news and/or are talked about because they are noteworthy, unusual, or dramatic. As a result, these kinds of events are more available and hence we overestimate their probability of occurrence,” he says.

As usual, spiders, snakes and marsupials taking the wrap for domesticated mammals …

Why are there so many kangaroo walk throughs then? I've taken my kids on two fairly recently. There used to be a person in Germantown who had a big kangaroo farm in their back yard. I think they've since moved to Texas but we spent lots of time with their roos. There is also a walk through at the Safari Park in Virginia.
It was the emus at both places that i found aggressive.

Is the kangaroo in the video real? It looks very fake. And the guy is laughing.

I want to see that kanga check, “I am not a robot!”

It was so freaking creepy. Their legs go the wrong way. They just sit and stare at you. I've never looked at kangaroos the same way again.

There are many such places in Australia. They even had a sign in one saying, “don’t let your children try to get into the kangaroo’s pouch.”
You can feed them by hand though.


I was afraid of them but my teen daughter let one kiss her!

Koalas are nasty creatures, too.

They actually very docile (literally drugged from what they eat).

However, they are dying from an STD epidemic!

I think the males are actually very very aggressive and the females and babies are what they have at local zoos/walk throughs.

weve been too docile and kind to animals they don't think we are apex predators anymore, time to assert dominance

I posted we've been through a walk through and there was definitely a male in there. He was SOLID SOLID muscle. I am not surprised he would pack quite a punch if he did, but he was friendly. We spent a lot of time with him.

Maybe they raise some to mix with humans or weed aggressive ones out.

Details on other a**hole animals - it really is horrifying what some do for "fun". We know there's violence for food etc, but this...

Well, they kind of are -- it's just that they are actually dinosaurs.

No, they’re drones. All of them.

The Reagan administration killed all the birds.

Facts.

Avian flu. Look it up. The robot birds are part of the surveillance state apparatus.

OP here, I think this actually supports my point. Even under the most tame of circumstances, these beasts develop a sinister, skull crushing physiology. They are literally born to kill.

I don’t know, but the most hilarious YouTube video I have ever seen is two guys being chased by a kangaroo on a golf course. They try to get away in their golf cart, shrieking in terror as the roo pursues them. The one guy keeps yelling “Oh no! Oh, sh— Conor! Conor!”
