It just goes to show how nuts Americans are, they think they would win an unarmed fight against a lion or elephant. I wish quite a lot of them would try it.

I suspect some of them don't consider using a gun as being armed.

It all went wrong when the "right to bare arms" was misspelled and everyone got the wrong idea.
Originally it was supposed to be because of the hot weather and shirt etiquette.

I once gently hit a sheep on the nose that was nagging me for a bite of my sandwich as I sat on on the ground at top of Pen Y Fan in S Wales. The sheep gave me a look of 'you shouldn't have done that', rushed forward headbutting me and knocking me over backwards (I wasn't expecting to be head butted by a sheep...), nabbed my sandwich and ran off!
Thankfully all before Youtube was invented...

There is of course no legal obligation to provide truthful answers if you are stopped in the street and asked stupid questions by somebody carrying out a survey.

I'm not getting into a fight with a swan again.
It only hit me on the elbow but it was a hard hit and I really wouldn't fancy ending up in the water and being struck on the side of the head !
Coots look a bit dodgy too with the sharp beaks I think a duck would be okay but they usually fly off instead of getting into conflicts. How sensible.

"A man has been rescued in Alaska after desperately flagging down help having been attacked and harassed by a grizzly bear for a week. US Coast Guard officials were alerted by an SOS message on a shack roof and spotted a man waving his arms in the air calling for help. The man told them he had been attacked by a bear and hadn't slept for days after it kept coming back to his camp. He was found with chest bruising and an injured leg he had taped up." Heβs lucky to be alive knowing how tough bears are, I am amazed he managed to get away from it.π±π» www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-57939501

Used to have some pics of Timothy Treadwell's camping spot...Timmy lost...he believed he understood the bears and, more crucially, they understood him. Poor deluded Timmy. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_TreadwellAnd for shits and giggles...
