When Deer attack..

[Grounogeos]

There's a reason they use their hooves. Imagine being hit in the face by several very sharp rocks without pause.

And that's if the buck doesn't decide to gore you with its horns.

OT: Think of it this way:
Deer isn't aware of the difference between domesticated dogs and wolves/coyotes (natural predators of the deer). Makes sense because they're closely related creatures.
Deer sees a dog while in town with its baby, mistakes it for one of its natural predators.
Deer goes apeshit on the dog to protect its baby, just like a lot of animals do.
Cat's fucking stupid enough to approach after the dog got its ass kicked by a pissed-off deer.

There seems to be a bit of confusiob over the ownership of the dog. The man filming does not own the dog, he owns the cat and was recording the cat originally, then the deer came. The owner of the dog is the woman screaming, who was his next door neighbour.

Hope that helps.

Don't get between a mother and her young. Basic survival rule, whether it's a deer, a bear or that MILF down at the grocery store. They will stomp/maul/mace you first and ask questions later.

As for deer being dangerous, visit Nara in Japan. An entire city with deer walking around, and there's hardly ever an incident (less so than would happen with, for example, dogs or squirrels). True they do observe some precautions like removing the antlers from the male deer in a special ceremony, and they confine the bucks to a special area during mating season, but all of you assuming automatically that animals and humans can't co-exist and that you automatically need to kill any wild animal you see are wrong.

... what is disturbing is that in Nara you can buy deer biscuits (shika senbei) and they're penis-shaped (I kid you not!). I swear that any man streaking in Nara would be chased by a hundred deer running after the deer-biscuit shaped treat between his legs!

Wow.. That was pretty disturbing to see. Poor dog. That deer's a right prick.

Was it wrong of me to laugh hysterically while watching that video?

 

[GrimTuesday]

One time I punted a goose cause it charged me. That fucker didnt know what hit it. The basterd was fine just incase anyone was curious.

 

[Kwaren]

That deer would die if that was my dog. It would meet the business end of my Desert Eagle and it's 7 .50AE rounds!

 

[Stone Wera]

FREAKIN' DEER! I hate deer! I'd like to cut that lil' cotton tail off, BAMBI!

 

[Ninonybox_v1legacy]

if i was their i would have honestly would have went rambo on the deers ass with a hatchet, then i would.....i dunno eat it. i have experiance takeing out those bastards.

 

[Beastialman]

If that deer done that to my dog I would be running at it and beating the shit out of it.

Ah hahaha, no you wouldn't, deers are huge, as big or bigger than you. Seriously unless you're armed with a gun or a cudgel and get the drop on it I doubt you'd even want to think about fighting a deer.

 

[TehCookie]

Why didn't the dog run away when it saw a angry deer charging at it? Never owned a dog so I don't know much about them.

 

[Fenreil]

I thought this thread would be related to this in some way.

Spoiler

I have never been attacked by animals that are not bugs, and they don't count. Nasty little fuckers, though.

Oh, and for a lighter, related video:

 

[Alexnader]

I can't stand animals being hurt. If that deer were to look at my dog funny I would have rushed it with my iron fire poker. I wouldn't even think, I would not stand for even a millisecond to see it. I'd have fucking brained that deer, then probably throw up.

Seeing something attacking family will not be tolerated for even a fucking second. I can not and will not tolerate that. Who ever tries to bring about harm on my family will know my god damn wrath.

This is one thing I will not fucking tolerate regardless.

Mrs Deer, say hello to my dog protection stick.

It's severely wounded 2 foxes, a deer like you, and killed 2 fishers.

Burn in hell.

A little ironic is it not?

Family>My huge distaste in suffering in animals.

I'll be shaken like all hell afterwards, and probably be pent up in my room for a while, but when it comes down to it I'll kill it. My dog is family, you don't fuck with that. Now I'm feeling a little sick from remembering the last fisher... if you'll excuse me I'm gonna go take a nap and try to forget about it...

I think he was referring to how you're clearly motivated by protecting your family which is exactly the same motivation that the deer had. Also what the hell kind of situation calls for a kingfisher to be splat with a poker? I'm genuinely curious.

A fisher is a small little animal, with rather sharp teeth. A bit smaller then my dog, but longer. It could kill my dog easily.

Also the deer was by its self. There was no family to protect, unless it attacked my dog because its family was far away, but close enough to warrant attacking this.

Why would a deer even need to attack that is beyond me.

Ah... see I for some reason I read kingfisher out of that rather than just fisher. I had no idea there was such a thing as a "fisher cat" or "fisher"...
I just had a mental image of you swatting kingfishers (pretty birds) out of the air with a poker.

Why didn't the dog run away when it saw a angry deer charging at it? Never owned a dog so I don't know much about them.

I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure it's because their natural instinct is to back down and roll over when threatened by a much larger opponent. Every dog I've owned did that, anyway.

Yep, originally an in-pack behavior among wolves to show submission, which prevents them from getting beaten up by another wolf. Obviously a mistake in this situation; that deer is no pack-mate.

 

[FallenJellyDoughnut]

What the FUCK!? Her dog is getting the shit beaten out of it, by a DEER no less, and all she does is scream "STOP IT!" ITS A BLOODY DEER, CHASE IT OFF!

This would be a "Hey head of dear have you met mr baseball bat?" scenario for me

"He doesn't like you." *THWACK!*

 

[Vrex360]

It just goes to show, no matter how cute and graceful and beautiful an animal may seem in cartoons, in the real world it's a whole different story.

I myself when I was young realised this when, I was about two at the time, I was playing around with this little dog which suddenly bit me on the cheek just under my eye. Apparently it traumatised me so much that I wouldn't go near dogs until I was about ten.

Also, once I was at a farm and two horses in a paddock were getting aggressive and one of them bit the other and that horse reared up kicking its legs in the air, centimeters away from my face. The girl I was with screamed like it was a horror movie.

 

[Vuljatar]

I'm pretty amazed that nobody shot it.

Seriously, nobody even had a .22 or anything? Where the hell did this happen?

 

[Yoshemo]

If I saw it changing at my dog, I'd grab the nearing blunt object and come out swinging. If the deer doesn't leave, it dies
