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.

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.

Koalas are nasty creatures, too.

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.

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.

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.
