For the most part, You make sense but the idea protecting your wife using a hatchet puts you in the extreme jerk category.
Who thinks of defending themselves with a with a hatchet? Daniel Boone? Paul Bunyan?
I don't think rational people have thoughts of using a hatchet on any living creature!
I agree. I wouldn't let it get that close. I would would stop it at a much safer distance. against the rules you say. So is a loose dangerous dog.
And BTW. You how do you think rational people kill chickens? Yes it is with a hatchet. And then, and then. they turn them loose and let em run. You have heard "like a chicken with it's head cut off"? it is a real statement. Amazingly. they run to the same place every time.
We are not talking about the food chain. We are talking about domesticated pets.
While chickens and hatchets maybe commonplace. Domestic animals and hatchets are not the norm.
Just because a dog is loose does not mean its OK to slaughter it like a chicken.
Every loose dog is not dangerous. Of course many of us are internet ninjas and like to our muscles when safely behind their keyboard.
I get it if a loose dog approaches me in a threatening matter, I will defend my self by any means necessary, however I don't need to be armed or have a weapon at my side just in case.
Hatchets are for chopping wood....OK and an occasional chicken :W
