Pro surfer Mick Fanning punches Great White Shark on the nose

Good man. Exactly what you're supposed to do in that situation. Of course, it's one thing in theory, in practice, miss and you're ****ed.
 
He didn't punch it on the nose he punched it on the back. Impressive stuff, I can't believe how calm everyone seemed.
 
How would you feel if it was a dog he was assaulting?

If he isn't a criminal and he is being attacked unprovoked then game on. Same as if one of the dogs turns on me I will do anything to stop it from mauling me.

Fanning is a convict and my understanding was that it was an unprovoked attack on the shark.

Could a military man like you, could you give a dog a lethal blow?

We were told in Afghan to shoot any stray dogs due to the risk of rabies. I couldn't bring myself personally to do it and lucky never got put in a situation where I needed too.

I honestly don't think I could but that's purely because I love the animals.

What if it was coming really hard?

So what proportion of military training is now focused on beating off dogs?

Ten years back when you first arrived it would be a normal thing to do. We are pretty disgusting creatures with some odd rituals that aren't appropriate for this site.

I appear to have been lead into a conversation not about killing but rather ******* a dog off. I didn't see it in the first post but saw it in Pubey's second so good one on the first I missed that.

This has gone way off topic now, you've had your giggles at my expense now get back onto surfing and sharks please.
