Where is the line for a human killing an animal with their bare hands?

Dude. Those kangaroos are usually declawed. One out in the wild if you chose to go at it with would gut you with a kick when their claws dig in through your abdomen.
It is hilarious how many soft humans think they can just roll out and take on a wild animal. Animals that live actually outside YEAR ROUND are not going to be killed by almost any unarmed human. They fight for survival every freaking day.

Hell, I bet a couple squirrels could take on most HROTers.
 
The point of the exercise is to get over the mental hurdle of killing an animal with your bare hands when your survival is at stake. Easy for someone who grew up hunting. Not so easy for the suburbanite who views anything smaller than a pig as a pet.


The difficulty of the exercise is people understanding how anything bigger than a rabbit is NOT just going to fall apart. Even when your survival is at stake, barehands, humans are weak.

In OP there was talk of a honey badger and a wolf. And later kangaroos. Further evidence how delusion people are of their strength / skills vs nature.

That definitely changes my estimation, I think any animal that’s going to claw is out of the question

Or horns. Or large sharp teeth. This is a small buck. Like 2 or 3 YO. If he knew we were in a battle to the death, I'd be dead. And he likes grass and pumpkins.

Hunters usually have a weapon of some sort. Hell even Rambo had a knife and made weapons out of the wood available to him. Just taking on an animal with your bare hands is different even for someone that grew up hunting, as I don't know many hunters going out there without a firearm or bow of some sort. In many chances your best bet at survival if encountering many of the wild animal is to get it away from it or hurt it enough to get it to go away and leave you alone. Of course if going out in the wilderness, it is probably best to be prepared by not being bare handed and have a weapon of some sort even if a hunting or survival knife.

I've been to an ostrich farm. An ostrich will straight f--k you up. You wouldn't last 60 seconds.

Yeah, years back I had a few clients who had ostrich farms when they were going to be the next great way to get rich quick. Those sumbitches are flat-out mean.

To go into the pasture & feed the damn things, one of the farmers used one of those caged in carts, like golf courses use on the driving range.

I'd want to get it in a full nelson, rendering its weird flipper arms immovable!

You do realize that if you did manage to get him in a full nelson, he could simply submerge and you'd face the option of letting go or trying to see if you can hold your breath longer than him?
Not to mention, when they're startled they can generate a lot of power with their back fin. They can't swim like a dolphin, but they can move pretty damn fast for something that is built like a potato.

Nope.

Not trying to drown him. Just taking all the fight/resistance out of him and bend him to my will, which shouldn't take long.
You're one of those guys that watches an NBA game and imagines yourself out there on the court holding your own, aren't you.

I had a deer in my yard one time, somehow it jumped the fence and was hanging out. Figured it would take animal control some time to come out so I brought it a bowl of water. I got within maybe 5’ of it and nope’d out
