    I walk my dog plenty around bush reserves where there are large mobs of roos. My dog is off lead but trained not to chase them. There’s a slim chance a buck will have a go at us unprovoked, but largely it comes down to minding your own business and you’ll be fine.

    These stories always start with dogs chasing roos, and the big bucks do what they do best. Luring them into water where they have the advantage (they can stand on their tails), putting them in a headlock and drowning them. It’s pure self defence.

    I love my dog to pieces and that’s why I trained him not to bother roos. It’s really not that hard.

    People think the animals on the Australian coat of arms are there because we like them, it’s just a list of our enemies.

      Was this part of the conditions of surrender? They forced you to put them in the coat of arms so that you would always remember your defeat?

        It’s there to fuel us in our ongoing war with the emus and kangaroos!

        Speaking of kangaroos, when are we going to start calling them what they are, domestic terrorists, they will kamikaze themselves into a car just in hopes of killing the people in the car, if they knew how to make explosives, you know they’d be hopping around bombing places.

    I learned a lot about Kangaroos in water today. Seems like this happened because the dog chased the Kangaroo to the point it went in the water to save itself. Kangaroos drown in self defense apparently.
