holy ****.... There are better ways you god damned moron! I understand he was probably in shock, but damn, I hope that Raccoon is alright, poor thing!

 

The Raccoon got off lucky, lets just say if this took place on a farm they would use a gun instead.

True.

 

The second throw might have been a little excessive, but he was just trying to protect his dog. What would you have done? Try to reason with it? I think the guy had some serious stones to do what he did.

 

Agreed, gotta protect your animals, he probably didn't even think it through.

His Brain: "Dog trouble, trouble raccoon, grab raccoon, dispose!"

Anyone that's ever been around raccoons knows one simple rule: you don't ###### with raccoons. 

 

He had some serious balls to do that, and he's lucky he doesn't have rabies :-\  

 

The raccoon's probably fine, and even if it's not, who cares, they're a dime a dozen.  And they're ######.

The raccoon was attacking the guys dog, he had every right to defend his dog and get the raccoon far away as possible (if it means throwing it down a flight of stairs)! I would do that if the raccoon was attacking my cats!

There was no second throw, just a different camera angle.

This video is hilarious! That's one raging Rac' coon

I never met a violent raccoon.

 

actuality I'm against animal cruelty.

 

maybe horrible in stealing my food when camping.

Don't think it's funny... more like moron...

 

So you would just stand by while your dog or cat is viciously torn apart by the raccoon? It's not like the video was meant to be for anyone's enjoyment, a real life situation posed its self and he did what he had to do to take care of it.

Can't say I disagree with your statement. He did what he had to, simple as that. For those who can't tell, there was no second throw. It was just another angle of his initial and (supposedly) only throw.

Really wasnt meant to be.  And hes a moron for protecting his dig? Raccoons are not all cute and cuddly they may look to be.  Their claws and teeth are very sharp and they can get really nasty.  It would of killed that dog.  The raccoon is lucky it just got tossed.

yes that is true. I had pet of one raccoon before. I saw her got angry and wants to bite me, but too late she cannot bite me. my mom tell me that it will bite me. I understand her. the raccoon who stayed in cage outside backyard.

What's the big deal here?  He didn't kick it, stomp it, shoot it, or smash it against a wall.  A simple toss down the stairs isn't going to harm it.

There things climb and fall out of trees, so they're designed to withstand falls.

 

This guy had serious balls to risk getting rabies.  

For some people's information, racoons can certainly be dangerous. They can be extremely protective. Many of them have rabies so this guy is actually kind of stupid to even take the chance of picking it up. It's easy to criticize post-mortem.

Exactly! Rabies would be the least of cases!

    • I've been using MWB Premium for a number of years so that along with Windows updates and updated browser should be fine. Thanks for that.
    • For some reason I suddenly have the urge to go shopping at Sears.
    • So I did a quick test based on 3+ different public instances from the litany at searx.space ... and it spins everything rather differently. It seems that SearXNG is a meta-search engine (queries multiple search indexes rather than only Google's or Bing's or Wikipedia's or Reddit's) that operates in two modes: > public instances ... each instance opens itself to outside users who piggyback on its cached search history; this instance's own identity becomes known/tracked but end-users are hidden similar to an anonymization proxy; this instance's querying of major search indexes may be API based [rated limited, blocked, etc.]). > private instances ... your private install/instance that itself queries multiple (configurable) search indexes of crawled web content; every major Search Engine associates all traffic to your private instance (so your traffic is tracked via network usages) but client-side tracking (your own browser/computer specs) is flushed because it's a "server" doing the querying rather than your browser. My test asked the same 1 question to the 3+ engines and they all returned vastly different results: some had CAPTCHA failures against Google, some had failures against Wikipedia, and the actual results were also different -- some had auto-complete enabled, others returned a wikipedia highlighted excerpt despite the Wikipedia failure (hinting at results being cached from previous keyword matching), and others just gave an Are-You-Human non-CAPTCHA loop before returning random results. So this begs the caveat: Search query results will vary based on which instance is used because every instance queries the other search indexes separate (and thus its results are influenced on that instance's aggregate search history and index-access limitations). The major distinctions for SearXNG versus DDG or Brave: > The search UI is 'untracked' since no UI trackers are baked-in which would phone home or lay cookies into your browser (for DDG/Brave usage stats), > There is no 'crawler' that canvasses the Internet to discover fresh content (it leaves that to the major search indexes), > Queries multiple search indexes ("meta-search engine") based on the configurations and usage history of the server instance, > Privacy-friendly due to its ability to shield user tracking via standing up a non-local server instance connectable to major VPN providers: queries would all appear to come from general VPN/Proxy providers rather than your private instance (whether installed locally or on your own VPS in the cloud). PS: I've previously come across specialized search engines of this nature that indexes searches across media assets like YT, OF, etc. SearXNG seems to be a good backbone...if the rate-limiting/captcha/etc. issues were resolved.
