I think people think they're nice cute cuddly things that just wanted to give the doggy a hug.
If they encountered one I reckon they'd think different.
fking love the reaction from the 'roo though.. like proper "WTF just happened?!"
My mother's house is on the edge of a national park with no boundary fence, and the roos keep her lawn short.If they encountered one I reckon they'd think different.

Walking to her back door from the car at night, I stop and wait for the big bucks to reluctantly give way to me. I would definitely not want one to feel threatened by me - they can (and have) killed adult humans.
Their technique is to hug the victim, lean back supported by their tail, and eviscerate with one kick of the hind leg.
Australia - if it moves, it's probably lethal*.
- Except for some of the sheep.
The human race really does need wiping out and starting over if there are people out there who think this guy did wrong. He did not torture it, kill it, do anything other than exhibit the normal behaviour of the animal. The box each other, that's what they do. Its not like this guy was out taking a stroll and decided to punch a small fluffy animal. It was going to kill his dog, so he stepped up. You average softie brit would have just stood back, perhaps tweeted about it then contacted their solicitor for some no win no fee type payout. I mean FFS the country goes bat sh*t crazy when some blokes dog chases a deer or two and wont come back.
We are doomed.

It's being reported that Greig Tonkins is an elephant keeper at Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo, NSW and his employers are considering taking "apropriate action" against him.
FFS. Storm/teacup.
I assume appropriate action is a handshake and 'bloody well done mate, did ya see the size of that thing, what a whopper' (said in an Aussie accent)FFS. Storm/teacup.

Did the DM coverage include this clip with full commentary?

I mean, got to love the Aussie commentary but actually what the guy is saying seems spot on. You can see the Roo try and gut the dog with his hind claws.

How can people get wound up by this!!! He was protecting his dog from almost certain death from what are really just dangerous pests.
The Roo wasn't killed, just left with a sore hooter.
Bloody brave of the man really, right on the button, good shot.
And on a more humorous note, it couldn't be more Australian!!!

And the prequel - Skippy lays down some moves and brings out the bear hug (just shows that was one lucky dog with an even braver owner)
