While I Wouldn't Usually Approve Of Punching Wild Animals

It was possibly a brave and necessary move here...though his friends are howling with laughter.

Well, I felt some nervous laughter as I watched...and was glad his dog was ok...as was he.
There...I've got one answer. Lucky me ;)

He is lucky that it didn't kick him with his legs - they look lethal.

I think all the others are fighting among themselves. (AB people not Kangaroos).

I was trying to distract them wolf...no one was interested.
It's dull as dishwasher here.
Yes...kangaroos are nasty beasties. They look almost human when on their hind legs.

I'm off to bed, here's a cute video for you.

At least he didn't have a weapon though, pasta and the roo looked quite ok. Hmmmm, not sure many would have thrown a punch. Main thing was the dog was ok.

It was a well trained feral pig hunting dog.
It could have shredded that roo.
But it didn't.

Is that a thing 1ozzy? How can you tell?

wrong sort of title, OG.

Now, back to discussing the awful way AB is run...

[pastafreak]

Oh good grief...the title looked sufficiently descriptive to me!

In a nutshell...standing kangaroo has forelegs wrapped around dogs neck. Owner rushes towards roo and it releases dog...owner punches advancing roo. Mates are laughing and chuckling in the background. Poor roo looks stunned ;)

I expect they like them dead straight, pasta: Man punches roo or similar. That way people are warned if they don't want to see animal mayhem look away now.

Submit your descriptions... ;)

Now you Reddit, now you don't

I know the man had to think on his feet and was thinking of the safety of his dog, but I have to admit, I felt a bit upset to see kangaroo punched in the face...

By living here and not making assumptions helps.
