"DON'T EVEN THINK OF F*$&#*% WITH ME!!!"

HEMET, Calif. (CBS) ―
Size really doesn't matter, as a trio of Chihuahuas proved by cornering a full-grown, adult mountain lion in their owner's garage.
Ana Lee Spray of Sage, near Hemet, heard her three Chihuahuas barking in her garage and went to check out commotion. Spray was surprised to see the massive, angry cat hissing at her and her dogs and immediately took her pets inside.
Spray called 911 and officers from the Department of Fish and Game tranquilized the mountain lion. The big cat had to be tranquilized again after running from the garage.
Indeed.
Ooooh. You have a Mastiff? I envy you and wish I had a fenced yard. We’re renting and can’t build a fence here.
Thanks for taking this one. Couldn’t have said it better myself.
What a beauty. Is it yours?
So far, man and “wild” animals have not learned to co-exist.
Since we are the species with brains to reason things out, it behooves us to find a way to make things work.
The one thing that sets Man apart from “animals” is our ability think logically, and not act on instinct.
You’re entitled to have your own opinion on the subject, and please, don’t ever feel you need to apologize for your stance.
I’d be the last person to ever say, “You’re wrong!”
:o]
Since as you say man is the animal with reason and does not act instinct, I would say you are wrong...Many people have been put in positions that acting on instinct is the only thing that saved their lives or ended it...Fight or flight is an inborn instinct. For normal people the instinct to nurture the young is inborn, as is the instinct to protect one's family from danger..If it were not so the species would have not survived. We have many instincts and also the ability to reason, some people's reasoning is faulty..
Thank you for saying I don't have to apologize for my opinion as I did not apologize for it..never would unless someone had a better argument than I and you do not have such an argument at this point...but I would not have to apologize, I would just agree and change my opinion
But I don't agree with you and everyone has a right to be wrong...I defend your right...
But at this point I think you are wrong :O)
It’s OK. I’ve been wrong before, and I no doubt, will be wrong again.
I agree that “fight or flight” is an instinct, but over the eons, we have learned from that instinct. And although animals must be taught how to hunt, and they have learned how to adapt, we are the only ones in the animal kingdom to take our knowledge to the next level.
Not just with animals, but with survival, period. We’ve learned to cultivate crops, to improve the domesticated animals that provide us with so much, and even to find new and better ways to adapt. We’ve even learned how to tame certain animals as “pets.”
I suspect, with most “wild” animals, they can only go so far in their progression. And I doubt very much that I’ll see a wild animal with a “pet.”
And Koko doesn’t count...she was a domesticated gorilla in a research center.
Well, we agree on a couple of points....thanks for the interesting posting to this thread...have a great day.:O)
You too!
I learn a lot from FReepers! And more than I thought I would from you!
Thanks!
‘Face
:o])
Be my guest!
And if you feel particularly kittenish, you can use this one: :oþ !
Considering that the average cop takes at least a full magazine to hit a 200 pound granny ("It really happened..."); ears must have been ringing for days after they shot the chihuahua.
(No disrespect intended - Sir.)
Swiper is so longsuffering!
Drop the chalupa, you stupid cat!
My Jack Russell’s are the same way. They fear nothing. I have a 100+ pound male Bloodhound that is scared out of his mind of them.<<<<<<<<<<
Isn’t that the truth! My female Russell decided to nip at the butt of a large, friendly lab that was resting near her during a camping trip this weekend. I couldn’t see what was taking place, and I guess the lab had enough and it was on. Fortunately, neither was hurt. But the Russell has no sense of her size and incites ridiculous events with dogs who mean her no harm.
I owned a chihuahua for twelve years (or vise versa).
She thought she was the biggest dog in the neighborhood.
There’s also an American Mastiff - like the English, but bred to be less drooly.
chuckles to you...I’ll be a pack of those little ankle biters would sure confuse even a puma...:O)
Unless this english mastiff I saw was a young one, it seems that they are also a little smaller body, but a beautiful face. I have always thought of a bull mastiff as being a very large dog, but maybe this was a very large pup..
