“If a wild dog bites someone, he better expect to get kicked, or even shot.”
Read the article, the jerk was provoking the animal and the animal was responding in the way any animal feeling trapped would.
Animals attack out of fear not malice.
Sorry. I did read the article. The guy was trying to save the iguana from getting run over. The iguana didn’t see it that way, felt provoked and bit him. When you get bit by an iguana you’re trying in good faith to help, let me know how you like it.
“Animals attack out of fear not malice.”
A wild animal stuck on a highway is in danger. The animal might not understand that. As such, someone who comes to his aid might get bit. But the animal was an imposition in the first place. It didn’t belong on the highway and would have died very shortly if left to its own devices. So if it bites its would-be savior, justifiably, its life is forfeit. What if a scorpion or a rattler feels provoked.
