    Any wild creature bigger than a rat is an animal you should be cautious of. I mean, I wouldn’t pet a wild rat, either, but I’m also not afraid one will attack and kill me.

    Wild dog packs roam lots of countries in south-east Asia. Don’t fucking go near them. They will try to seperate you from other humans and take you down for a snack.

    So weird though when you see, like, a golden retriever in their ranks. The urge to go pet them is too strong. I did a lot of catching myself walking towards them when I was in thailand.

      The first half of your comment was good and then it devolved into nonsense. Thai street dogs don’t eat people, the amount of fucking rubbish strewn everywhere keeps them fed.

      Now will they bite you? Of course, it’s a dog.

          they’re*

          Edit: I took another look at the above comment and I think “there” or “their” both work here. I don’t ever recall seeing a sentence where that was true and my mind is a little blown.

              Yes that’s correct. Not saying /s because I don’t think it’s needed here.

              Edit: see my edit in my previous comment

                Fair enough, that was supposed to be a meme opener just so I could comment, but I deleted the /s right before the opening parentheses, and now I’m worried I came off like a complete asshole to you! My apologies! I meant that in a joking meme tone, not in a tell you what to do way! Sorry about that!

                  Ohh! I see what you did there. I don’t think tone is conveyed well through text, especially to me lol. I appreciate the clarification.

          A raccoon can absolutely mortally wound you. We’re just fleshy bags of blood and they have nasty sharp claws. A slash in the right spot could be fatal
