    Bullsh1t.

    You think the poor little defenceless doggie accidentally wandered too close to a kangaroo. There's only one species in that video acting in self-defence and it ain't Canis Familiaris or Homo Stupidus.

    They may have been hunting boar but the dog obviously tried its hand at something harder. Maybe the dog will think twice before attacking kangaroos.

    Kangaroos don't attack either dogs or humans (or anything else). The are entirely vegetarian and fight only to defend themselves from threats (and, even then, only when flight is not an option) or to establish dominance over other kangaroos.

    They're also not very bright. If a kangaroo were in the habit of attacking does or humans, the notion that it would readily learn not to do so as a result of being punched is too silly for words. Forty thousand years after the arrival of humans on the continent they have yet to learn that a human being approaching with a spear is a threat. They make very easy hunting.

    Nope. Look at the video again. The dog was released and long gone by the time the man punched the kangaroo.

    Scummy behaviour

    What happened when the dog being released and just before being released?

    It's a shame they cut the video short.

    Or they may have been parachuting close by but a huge gust of wind took them miles off course and they landed in a Kangeroo ghetto. That Kangaroo could have dragged that unfortunate dog back to his ghetto buddies to be "had".

    Your post is stupid.

    Real story is they were hunting wild boars with a terminally ill cancer patient..it was his wish to catch a huge boar. There was a TV crew with them. Kangaroos don't attack animals. Probably was playing with the dog just.

    All over the news here in Perth. Can't be bothered linking the story

    he's a lucky man, if the roo decided to attack him he was a gonner with the sharp claws they have.
    When i was in OZ ten years ago a tourist had died after being attacked by one, it cut her stomach to pieces

    Yeah I used to think they were just cute little cuddly guys before I visited.

    ****ers are really aggressive and dangerous.

    I have no idea how you got that from the video?

    He stunned the kangaroo who had been jumping around with his punch then waited for the kangaroo to attack but with the kangaroo still stunned he didn't so he just walks away.

    I very much doubt he stunned it. The kangaroo only leaves when a second dog turns up. I suspect he'd have made mince meat of your man otherwise.

    The punch wasn't that bad but what you didn't see was the kangaroo having its Knackers ripped off to be fed to a z lister on I'm a celebrity.

    Kangaroos are known to drown or strangle animals if they see them as a threat, I wouldn't take the chance it was just playing if that was my dog.

    They attack animals if the animal is attacking them, kangaroos kill lots of dogs

    The hypocrisy of some people here is actually shocking.

    Here's what's happening in short:

    Man punches kangaroo to save dog. Outrage

    And if he didn't do anything

    Man left dog to be strangled to death by kangaroo. Outrage

    he gave the kangaroo a wallop. Big ****ing waaaah. If left to it that kangaroo would have ripped your mans head clean off and thought nothing of it. Like jaysus lads he gave it a slap, I'll say it again, he didn't rip the kangaroos arms off and beat him with them. I would say the worst thing that kangaroo had walking away was a bit of a headache. Get over yourself. THE kangaroo being punched ensured no one was killed. Isn't that better?

    The guy was an idiot, the kangaroo had let go of the dog before he hit it and he was lucky he didn't end up with his guts hanging out if the kangaroo decided to kick out at him.

    Do you think that kangaroo let go of the dog in fear? He was ready to attack him. The guy acted fast and the confusion saw the kangaroo leaving.

    Brilliant! That gave me a good laugh!
    McGregor should fight both of them and the dog.

    Edit: Why oh why are people taking this thing so seriously??????

    Does every thread in AH provoke "outrage"?

    We don't know if it was going to attack him or not but either way it had let go of the dog before he hit it.

    From what I've read those things are very strong so I'd imagine if it wanted to attack him it would have.

    The kangaroo had gotten the better of the dog at that stage, it squared up to the human but despite what people think of humans we're a big intimidating animal, it's likely the kangaroo just didn't want to fight the man but in the animal kingdom you don't run from predators or your as good as dead.

    And at that point he was protecting himself.
