That is where a revolver, pressed against it's body and the inrush of hot gasses would have made a big difference in the time taken to kill it. Sadly, once that cat got the dogs neck/head in the back, it was too late for the dog.
The other dog was useless. Target fixation by the cat was extremely obvious. Went right by the other dog to get to the one it had chosen. |

When I was about 13, I used a corn knife (aka Midwestern machete) to kill a big badger that had got into the barn and had cornered my dog. It went about the same way. The corn knife was sharp, but it took a lot of whacks before that fucker was dead. Even then I don't recall any deep cuts, I think I just ended up breaking his spine or something. I probably broke every fucking bone in it's body. It was pretty traumatic for me, the dog and the badger.

That had to be the dullest machete ever. I saw a video a few years back from Nepal where a dude beheaded a 2,000 lb bull with a khukri with a single swing.

I had something like this a few days before Christmas in 2017 except with a smaller wildcat, I was the target and not a dog, and I had a tomahawk, not a machete.
 (A lot of the red stuff is also mine) That was a very strange day, and the $13,000 hospital bill made me very thankful for insurance. The tomahawk worked, but if I could go back I'd have had a gun on me 11 times out of 10. I spiked the fucking cat through the skull four times including burying it in its eye clear up to the shaft and the fucking thing just yelled at me and kept attacking like it was the fucking exorcist and didn't need a brain to keep fighting. Flipped it around and swung with every ounce of strength I had with the axe blade to its forehead over and over while it was literally trying to take my left hand off and was clawing my forearm. Tenth blow it suddenly went into slow motion, eleventh blow cracked its skull open and dumped blood all over the place and the fight was over. I had a one-handed Christmas that year (thankfully everything healed up back to 100%). Got the rabies vaccine just in case, but the tests came back negative. Goddamn cat was just a savage monster. |

People think of cats as cute, arrogant, house pets. They are actually nature's perfect murder machines. Dogs have nothing on them. I wouldn't bet on my Cane Corso or even my hard core Press Canario against an 80 lb cat.
Good on that man. That took balls. |

Pound for pound, cats are the most dangerous predators on land. I don't trust any that are big enough to kill me or the creatures around me. I don't want them around and will take active measures to remedy the situation.
This is coming from someone that has had cats around them their whole life. |

Iv seen videos of women trying to get a pit bull off their little dog by grabbing the pits ears and having no idea how lucky they were not to have their neck hamburgered. |

Big cats are no joke, go right for the vertebrae. Once they are on you are in deep trouble and not long for this world. The worst concern when out prowling the woods at night hog hunting. I’ve seen them 2 times.

Damn bro, that’s hardcore Got any pics of the cat or anything? Sadly no. First thought was first aid, then once I stemmed the bleeding I snapped the photo of the ‘hawk while I was on the phone with 911. Ambulance must have been literally getting sandwiches at the shop up the road because they were there in seconds, and animal control had collected the body by the time I got back from the hospital. Really wasn’t TOO bad off, I’d done most of the work myself so they mainly just changed bandages and cleaned me up a little more and wanted to know what happened while they gave me the ride to the hospital seeing as my arms, shirt, face, and hair were splattered in blood. One of the paramedics told me something to the tune of, “You got attacked by a wildcat and killed it with a tomahawk? That’s fuckin’ metal, dude.”

This guy did whatever he could to save his pal just like I would. Made me think about the video of a pitbull latched onto a Lab in a grocery store parking lot. People just yelling at the pit like that's going to do anything. If a pit or any other dangerous type latches onto my dog it's getting shot before it can do any permanent damage. |
