Being chased by dogs

"Reasonable Force"

IainR had a go at me on another thread for taking down someone who threatened to kill me, but it was ok for him to knock someone out "in self defence"

I fail to see the difference here.

Yawn. Bite you or knife it? Sometimes there's a 3rd way. Or a 4th. Or 5th. Or 6th. Do what you need to do. Maybe a treasured punch. Christ knows. I'm off to bed.

Dog eat dog world.

Use violence only when needed, after all other avenues have been explored, but be ruthless when it is.

There should be some kind of anti yelsew fence erected around the forum - all he does is spew out hate and slash out with his penknife :)

*regrets posting :rolleyes:

Not had to use it yet but I would, in self defence, not hesitate in the heat of the action.

So when you get attacked by a dog.. you ask it to sit.. get your bumbag open.. get the knife.. open the blade..

Hopefully by then Fido will already have mauled you..

lets hope it isn't a Swiss Army knife. Imagine the delay. Spoon, no. Hoof pick, no. Corkscrew, no. .... Blade, yes!

Classic dog encounter last night at Salt Ayre cycling circuit races in Lancaster...

Me, walking up from leisure centre to race circuit, lots of cyclists around... sees couple with staffordshire-big-jawed-mutt off the lead.
Dog sees me and clearly attracted by my spindly legs, starts jumping up and down around me... but of course "He's Okay"...
Owners eventually get said dog's attention and it loses interest in me and runs off towards the youth cyclists as they're warming up.
Owners, obviously oblivious to signs of cycle race in progress, head off towards the circuit itself obviously thinking it was laid out just for dog walking (as, judging by the number of steaming turds on view do many other dog owners).
Owners now clearly also oblivious to the signs saying "Cycle Racing Circuit: All Dogs to be on Leads" emerge from woodland looking for unleashed dog which is now enjoying life on the circuit.

Fortunately no harm done on this occasion, but...
