Some of you have probably already seen this, but Here it is all the same.
Long story short, a guy is out on a wild boar hunting trip with mates. A big Male Roo grabs one of the dogs as it runs past and holds into it, guy runs up to Roo to try and distract it, Roo shapes up and bloke punches it in the head. Luckily for the guy, the Roo is a bit stunned and decides to hop off instead of tearing him apart.
Australia, its awesome!
I laughed terribly at that vid few days ago. Roo's are cute and dangerous.

Yeah, he's seriously lucky that punch made contact and stunned the Roo a bit. Otherwise I'm pretty confident the next part of the video would have involved seeing his intestines hit the floor.

No participation trophies in Australia, apparently

The video in the linked site wouldn't play on my phone, so i went to YouTube. The video I watched was followed by some news caster banter. They said the man works at a zoo, and there has been some outrage over this and calls for him to fired. They said he won't be fired but is getting more training.... hopefully to throw a better punch, or how to throw a big rock.
That little roo was just being playful with the dog. It wasn't looking to hurt it.
The guy barely made contact, The roo was just waiting for him to follow through. They are pretty tough but not killers.

Roos are known to strangle and even drown dogs, dingos, and other animals. He was not playing.
But once the dog was free, why'd the guy bop the Roo after the fact?
dafug? That was a love tap...barely even made contact. People are butthurt because why exactly??? That roo probably experiences more pain trying to pass the remnants of nuts and twigs and whatever terrible outback-ey type stuffs they eat, than it did from that noodle armed right cross. My sister punched harder than that when her arm was in a sling after she broke her collar bone.

It cracks me up hearing all the do gooders getting outraged over this. Watching 2 big bucks go at it is pretty damn violent, they kick the E36 M3 out of each other.
Nealsmo is on the money, Roos are dangerous, and as I said further up thread, the guy is just lucky that Roo didn't go him.

News article said it was to stand his ground and distract the Roo away from the dogs.
A Roo can mess a person up pretty good, so even though his friends are giving him E36 M3 over it, it's wise not to tangle with one, they have pretty damn good upper body strength and not to mention that their kick is pretty harsh.
I am aware of that, but this is a young roo looking to play grab ass as any teenager likes to do. That is why it didnt go after the guy, He just wanted to mess around. I have watched them get froggy around each other and other animals.
I have had quite a few of them, Im a pretty good judge of what they are gonna do.

LOL. MulletTruck drops werd that he is the resident 'roo expert like our young hero Bow Wow in Roll Bounce served notice that he was the best dance-oriented roller skater in all of south side Chicago.
Well done!

I'm not bothered at all by the punch. If anything, it's beneficial for the 'Roo to associate dogs and people with hurty and avoid both.
I was just massively curious as to why the heck the animal was holding the dog. So strange.

If I've learned anything from Louis CK, it's that you should punch your pony. Can only assume it applies to roos too.
lol, Blazing Saddles style!
