    Isn't it though? I don't know if carrying bread and stuffing a sack of pennies inside is fair game but we're talking about life and death situations that might or might not take place at your local park.

    Got tired of seeing rescue turtles being released every saturday and sunday on the nature channel, so now just block them from getting to the ocean with my bare hands. They have better odds surviving on the beach anyway. I usually win the fight.

    keep in mind, we are assuming the animals have been told it's a fight,,,,not so

    animals are often suckers for kindness of humans.
    you can seduce them "baring gifts", then, when they least expect it.

    wham!

    elephants and chimps are most susceptible to being suckered into lowering their guard

    You're unarmed. Meaning, you have nothing. Even clothes can be a weapon, so no clothes.

    Why is this concept so hard to grasp?

    dude, you're taking this waaayyy too seriously.

    i'm trying to have fun here

    but, still, not only is the animal not necessarily aware this is a fight, but this also isn't a fight to the death.
    if I get a chimp in a ring, and play friend, scratches, pets, grooming ... may take hours or days, they'll warm up to me, then

    wham!

    actually blind them with my opposable thumbs, and they'll tap out. game over

    I'm not taking it seriously, my response to you was being sarcastic :p. But there is just one rule. It's like playing soccer but picking up the ball with your hands.

    I did say in my original response I would fight dirty.

    for sure life or death i could take the first 4.

    goose might be tough, but they arent super smart so as long as you can hold out a bit , theres prolly an opportunity to grab and snap the neck.

    Eagle is a bit tougher. Small eagle wouldnt be so bad, youd be damaged fo sho , but if you got in a good grab you can prolly **** it up

    chimpanzee i can see going very poorly for most people. But , if you are a trained fighter you can prolly put it to sleep

    King cobra , idk how you kill that with your bare hands ... now if you can pick up a rock I think it'd be easier than a chimp.

    large dog .... i am scared of dogs. i assume it is possible if you land enough/strong enough blows to the head/neck region

    after that ... no way

    you aren't taking down anything else on that list without a weapon. You might not die , but you arent winning the fight either

    There are some dove in my backyard that my wife has been fattening up by feeding them each evening. I'm sure I could take each one with a swift kick.

    Geese are 22lbs at their biggest. I’m having a hard time taking you guys seriously who question your ability vs a 20lb prey bird. What are they going to do? Pinch your nose real hard?

    Lol

    Pretty sure that Kangaroo is dead (RIP) mate so I feel good.

    I had an ex get attacked by a few ducks she was feeding and she was furious that I took a few photos before diving in to the river. They didn’t peck her or anything.

    Would you fight an orangutan, if you were armed with a sword one time a year or would you fight a chicken, unarmed, every time you opened your car door for a year?

    No dice. I'll pass on both. The orangutan because I don't want to die, and the chicken because it's every freakin' time I open my car door for a whole ****ing year. Those are demonic choices, @donkeypunch!

    WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!
