How do people think they can defeat a goose? They're one of the meanest animals on the planet. They're up there with wolverines and opossums.
Bruh they weigh like 15 lbs and their neck is long and poorly protected. If you can't beat a goose in a fight there's something wrong with you lol. Sure it might be hard to catch but it's not like a single goose is going to take you down Shadow of Colossus style by skillfully dodging all your attacks while it goes after your weak points and once you get ahold of a goose it's dead.
Geese are mean and scary, but that doesn't make them deadly. Unless they get a super lucky shot on a major artery they can't kill you. You might end up with some deep scratches but I don't think a goose could even break anything more than your hand. If it's a fight to the death at the end of the day you can just run at the goose and tackle it, sacrificing your face and legs and arms to some really bad scratches.
It's easy. Grab the neck behind the head, spin, and throw. The goose figures out not to attack the 150+ pound ape after that. Not all the apes though, just the one that threw the thing.
Have you ever seen geese fight? They're vicious.
That's the technique I have successfully used on no less than 4 different occasions. Yes, they bat at me with their wings, but if you are fast enough to neutralize the head, the bird only weighs 20-25 pounds. At that point inertia takes over, and you can practice your Olympic "hammer throw" technique
Fair. I've never personally fought a goose, but I've seen them fight each other. It's brutal.
I have wrangled several chickens, but they're among the dumbest animals on the planet.

You pretty much just grab it and do whatever you want from there
Common and Virginia possums are timid and will hiss or faint if they're confronted and can't run away.
What kind of possum is mean?
I don't want to be gross, but when I was a kid, my dad was bringing me home from Little League and there was an opposum in the driveway. My dad ran it over with his car, and later on that thing got up and walked away. I count winning in a fight means to the death, and those things don't die.
Chill man, lol! it doesn't say to fight to the death, there are other ways to determine the victory of a fight!
I mean, I thought that's what this chart was about. I don't want to ever kill any animal. My comments were purely based on theory.
Right lol. I was gonna say I get comparing geese and wolverines, they're both known for high levels of aggression, but opposums are known for remaining so still you think they're dead lmao it's almost the exact opposite!
