Tigers vs. Pit bulls

by **PenultimateManStanding** » Sun 24 Jul 2005, 00:40:31

I was at work today talking about the psychopathic girl oowolf mentioned who liked to semi-strangle cats. The question was, 'can one strangle a cat?' They have twenty deadly weapons on their paws and can inflict tremendous damage. From there the interesting question arose: put an enormous Bengal Tiger in a big cage with 4 Pit Bulls (Staffordshire terriers). Who wins? I say no doubt about it, the Tiger wins quickly. The Tiger may get injured a little, but with one swipe of the Tiger's claws the dogs are dead. Fight wouldn't last sixty seconds. Anyone know if anything like this has been done?

I'd like to see a 25 foot 500 pound Anaconda versus a Tiger.

Now if its a tiger or lion against grizzly bear we have this:

According to research, the Grizzly will slaughter the Tiger or Lion.

Huge grizzly bears:

However, the 1000 lb plus bear is king here and of a much more ferocious disposition. Two large male tigers were found killed by such animals in the year 2000, which is tragic, if natures way.

Tigers will usually avoid such a powerful foe, but eventually these huge animals will run into each other. Often the bear is trying to steal the tiger’s kill. The tiger gives a better account of itself in a bear fight than the lion. The bear does not go in for strangulation or nape biting, but uses his paws to rain blows to the head and shoulders. Possibly this removes any advantage of a mane.

Grizzly bear pit fights:

The Californians of the late 19th century staged well-documented pit fights with grizzlies and spanish bulls. The grizzlies, using their paw as a club, shattered the unfortunate bull’s skull or shoulder bones so easily that the betting became poor.

Eventually, and at considerable cost, African lions were brought in to raise the stakes. The most fierce of the adult males was sent in whilst the grizzly was already waiting in the pits. The lion was known for bravely charging straight in and looked good for the money, but the grizzly killed a male lion almost as easily as he’d killed the bull.

The Californians never understood why. We now know that it was enormously strong bone density meeting a low density skull. At a range of 4 feet the blow crashed in before the lion could apply the wind pipe lock, which is lion and tiger learnt behaviour for taking down prey animals.

The ferocity of this animal easily matches that of an unsettled African lion.

Thanks Carrie. Interesting that it was not meant to make out onto a wide audience but did anyway, so the guy (after thinking OMG what have I done?!) had to put out a disclaimer.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')t actually turned out to be a hoax (thank god!) Here's the story behind it:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '4').-I saw in a National Geographic issue a tiger stealing the carcass of a sambar from the crocodiles. And in a Survival Anglia film a tigress that killed a python, and a pic of a jaguar that killed a big anaconda. I´ve read about big snakes; even very big snakes can´t eat animals above 70kg.

I think 40 midgets trained and conditioned in a few martial arts would win. A few of them could probably grab the lion's rear legs and break them while the lion is busy with other midgets from the front. If it's 40 midgets of average strength and no martial arts training, then I have to give it to the lion. The average person is much weaker than a highly trained person.

That would be cool.

How about this, specop and Carrie: suppose the PTB decide that we're up against it and there's too much pacifism in the population. Young people need to be shaped in a war-like atmophere so they make good soldiers. What better way than to raise them with gladiator entertainment. Not the fantasy video game violence, but real violence fed to them by the media that says to them, 'rage is good! violence is good! killing is the highest calling and young man, you'll be rewarded for cultivating such feelings.' Changes can happen like that and may very well happen before long. Of course there is a lot of violence in the media now, but its make believe.

Wasn't the movie "Running Man" with Arnold based on the plot line that in future society there will be a revival of essentially the Roman Coliseum? Same with the old movie and book "Rollerball?"

I saw the new Rollerball movie, but it wasn't great. Nice to see a riot against a corrupt government at the end, as always.
