Basically the raccoon and his little dog seemed to be in a fight to the death and the man intervened...


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHN-f6xTzsY


I feel like a raccoon would not take a run at a human but it would take a run at a terrier to steal it's food/territory. This guy saw his dog being attacked by a wild animal and he reacted in a natural way and you can't fault him.

That being said....... this was not a fair fight. You have a full grown man raging out and hurling a 20 pound raccoon down a flight of stairs.

Toaster sounds like a bitch he needs to get himself a real dog. I used to have a dog that would kill raccoons weekly

Racoon could have killed his dog, so I have no issue with this. This didn't seem inhumane, and it doesn't look like the racoon even died.

50/50% chance of adult raccoon in a city surviving toss down stairs, shitting itself but fine.
vs
0% chance of surviving in the boonies against a farmer's shovel or bullet to the skull.

Critter got off lucky.

iirc, the guy went down the stairs to see if it was okay and it was still alive. Anyway, I think it was justified. Its not like he slammed it on something or went after it for more, he just tossed it to get it away from his dog.

Lol, yeah it's justified. I wouldn't of cared if he killed that raccoon tbh. People are such ninnies today. So...the alternative? Let him kill YOUR pet? What kinda topic is this. Kill that fucking raccoon and make his pelt into a costume for your small dog

even if it didn't kill the dog, it could seriously injure it and infect it with all kinds of shit. i'd say it's justified since it's something he loves vs something that could harm it

The guy will be lucky if his dog was not infected by rabies, hell he will be lucky if they raccoon did not give him rabies.

Raccoons are a rabies carrier, and their turds also carry rabies.

I think people underestimate how vicious raccoons can be.

They got nasty claws and sharp teeth, they can easily fuck up and kill smaller dogs and even medium size ones.

Fuck that raccoon


Is that a raccoon tooth flying when the raccoon hits the concrete in the side wall?

On topic - What a cowardly dog, his owner is literally fighting a raccoon to save his life and the dog ran away and hid and left his owner to deal with the mess. My niece's tiny Chihuahua would have gone to war with that raccoon trying to protect us

Dogs aren't really good fighters in the animal kingdom. Any bigger cat (bobcats, lynx, etc) would mess them up. Ditto for raccoons, or any similarly sized monkey.

Even wolves aren't that good, they're successful because they hunt in packs.

If you look at taxonomy, a raccoon is a miniature bear, and while they'd rather just run away, if they have to fight, they do indeed have gnarly claws and teeth and will fuck you up if you're not careful.

If a human being walked on this guys property and was attacking his dog and the guy shot him, no one would have a problem. But throwing an animal down a flight of stairs is worse than killing a human for some reason.

We have a surplus of humans. That lowers their value dramatically. Also, killing an attacker isnt the same as just slaughtering innocent people.

I don't have anything to actually contribute to this topic. If it was attacking my dog I would've stomped it's skull into a fine paste. Raccoons are cool animals from a distance but you don't really want to interact with them because they're mean and dirty

He would have been justified in straight up killing the raccoon with any means necessary. Simply throwing the thing was a mercy.
