No, I cosplayed as HaileySpino on the Tapatalk support forum. I told the admin to “stop sucking Taipan’s dick and man the fuck up”. He didn’t take well to that.

Hardcastle Bolushi Do gripping dogs have blunt teeth? Or do cougars have thick fur/skin? Or both? That could be the reason why there are no visible injuries. Both. All dogs have slightly blunt teeth compared to wolves (with maybe a few almost-exceptions), gripping dogs especially. Even dingoes have fairly blunt teeth, I remember an article on carnivora about how dingoes fight and kill eachother a lot but interestingly many of the injuries would be found under unbroken skin. Crushing deep tissue damage rather than slices and cuts. For gripping dogs you almost want blunt teeth, because imagine a gripping dog is clamped onto a beast, the beast violently twists and a lot of g-force is applied to the dog's body pulling it away from the beast. Sharp teeth are liable to slice through the skin of the animal, dislodging the dog with a mouthful of skin and sending it flying. The prey has a cool wound maybe, but it's also free and running away (or maybe even attacking and killing the human hunter). The principal is the same as if you were trying to grab a stick of butter using only the blade of a knife, a sharp knife would just slice itself straight out and you'd drop the butter over and over again. A more blunt knife will be lodged stuck in the butter and you can pick it up and wave it around without the blade coming out. Shorter blunter teeth can have a gripping dog more firmly attached and more impossible to dislodge. There's also the issue that longer bladed teeth are more prone to being knocked out by the impact of heavy collissions, which gripping dogs need to frequently endure. For gripping dogs acquiring and maintaining the hold, no matter what, is everything. As long as you have that you are in control and draining the fight out of your target. Later on when it's basically got no fight left in it, then you can work your hold, edge it towards a throat hold for suffocation or grind away on your hold causing deep tissue damage and internal bleeding, or violently shake your whole body while maintaining the hold to do similar damage. The mentality and function and mechanics of gripping dog combat philosophy was most beautifully illustrated in the writings of Jack London when he wrote about the fight between White Fang and a bulldog in the chapter "The Clinging Death". White Fang By Jack London, Part 4, chapter 4 "The clinging death" If you can fight off your ADD to read anything (and we all have a little ADD), read the above. Every line. Then you will understand how a gripping dog works, physically and instinctively. Did Cherokee kill White Fang?

Thank you for sharing, this has really enhanced my understanding of the gripping dog’s mentality and fighting style.

I may have to check out this book from my local library, I’m very intrigued by it so far.

You can read the whole book at that link- linkEven ignoring the cool content, Jack London is probably my favourite writer just for his writing style. His autobiographical memoirs and essays and short stories are arguably even better than the famous novels IMO.

^Lmfao, how the fuck is the kangaroo going to “choke” the GSD with its claws? This might just be HaileySpino's most bizarre claim yet. “I don’t think you know what “choke” means…”

View Attachment^Lmfao, how the fuck is the kangaroo going to “choke” the GSD with its claws? The funny thing is that there is no shortage of dogs like GSDs and dogs that would be a chew toy for a GSD (dingo) killing kangaroos.

I also grew up in a dog breeding/hunting family. Should have mentioned that. That still is secondary to "the attenborough lens" though. I feed the information from that upbringing and my hands on experiences with dogs though the attenborough lens, like everything else. I look at everything through that lens and that is where my understanding comes from. Go forth and read Attenborough books, or at the very least watch his documentaries- specifically the ones he wrote in the 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s. These- Life on Earth (1979) The Living Planet (1984) The Trials of Life (1990) The Private Life of Plants (1994) The Life of Birds (1998) The Life of Mammals (2002) Life in the Undergrowth (2005) Life in Cold Blood (2007) Those are essential. I now want to dig into the older-still stuff (some of which was focussed on humans), they may be essential too, I don't know. You can skip all the rest of his documentaries. Many of the newer ones he is just a puppet for some political agenda. Even the massively popular and famous "the Blue planet" isn't really Attenborough, he's just narrating it and I don't think it really "teaches" anything substantial. Those I listed help you really understand things in a way where you are then equipped to find out about an animal and that same afternoon understand it better than the people who are obsessed with it and study it in depth. It's just a way of looking at things. You need to watch Prehistoric Planet (2022) if you haven’t already. 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Who the hell has apple tv? It is probably pretty good, but again not written by Sir David, there's a very specific angle to the things he actually wrote which is kind of what I'm talking about. But yes I would like to see that for sure. Hopefully it becomes available on other platforms, I can't possibly justify subscribing to another one.

I'm sure it's great. "The green planet" was also very interesting and very good. A lot of his other projects have been great, but I put the ones he wrote on a higher pedestal.
