really only three or four animals are preferable to people (non-mastiff dogs, parrots, cheetahs, and certain breeds of housecat). the rest are best viewed from a distance.

The country with the highest amount of importing of exotic and endangered animals for the illegal pet trade by absolute numbers, per capita, AND money spent is Saudi Arabia. Note I typed pet trade, not for extra dumb shit like making your pee pee hard (that would be China).

When arabian has a pet lion or a Tiger it is kept in a cage or a park. They do not go inside with the animal and talk babies with it and poke it on the nose as if it was a little white. Only european does that and calls it tragic when they are bitten badly or even eaten.

I saw a probably young or female wild boar the other day while trekking with my wife. She wanted to go near to pet it but I told her to fuck off and leave it alone because you never know. But I guess warthogs are more dangerous.

All races have these, they just don't make the news because they don't want to encourage racism among whites.

Kind of like how they racewash crime reports (and now, dog attacks, out of 10 outlets reporting a dog attack maybe 1 says it was a pitbull). Social engineering is acceptable now.
>>
People are animals too, don't forget that.
>>
>>4887560
If it is female it's either with a pack or it's neurotic because it either has gotten seperated or it has young children to protect. And while sows and adolescent boars might not be able to disembowel you they can still do serious damage if you let them.
>>4887667
Don't know about warthogs, but pigs tend to freeze completely for about a second when deciding to attack you. This doesn't include the animals that are already raging, are just communicate-headbutting you, or have gotten startled. Obviously it's still a pig and the dumb retard crying about his fur baby cruelly betraying him had it coming, but they aren't unthinking automatons either.
>>
>>4887667
Hogs are smart, between an average dog and a border collie. They probably decide to attack, sometimes, but animals are still not conscious enough to override instinctive urges just like unhappy drug addicts aren't conscious deeply enough or often enough to override their neurologically burned in urges.

Hogs are also nothing like humans or dogs, temperament wise. Humans and dogs are both cooperative, hierarchical animals. Despite their intelligence, the most sophisticated social unit among hogs is a group of females protecting their offspring. Mostly, from males, who will kill and eat them - and if the females feel they won't be able to successfully rear the offspring they also kill and eat them, pretty late in life too.
>>
>>4887138
Can this happen with a regular hog? They can get angry too, and massive. Less tusk but bigger/fatter?
>>
>>4887757
Uncastrated adult males only, and there is a big variance between individuals in tusk growth, but yes absolutely.
>>
>>4887757
domesticated pigs are much less likely to just randomly go psycho mode and try to kill your for walking into their pen

as far as I can tell from this story, unless the victim is lying, this hog was friendly like a dog for years, he'd lay in the field by it and pet it and give it treats and shit, then one day something set it off and it decided it was gonna kill, which is really strange considering warthogs are really intelligent animals https://youtu.be/OXW_1i1pA0w?t=35

moral of the story is don't trust any large african animal that isn't a cheetah (they've been kept as pets by many high civilizations for thousands of years anbd are really docile towards humans for whatever reason)
>>
>>4887790
I wonder if I could get a big yard and teach a cheetah to play fetch. I would love to have one as a pet but they definitely need space to run.
>>
>>4887138
Of all the dangerous African animals to befriend why would you risk your life over an ugly-ass warthog?
>>
>>4887790
>domesticated pigs are much less likely to just randomly go psycho mode and try to kill your for walking into their pen
Keep in mind domestic pigs are slaughtered at 6 months and 130 kg, when they can weigh half a ton when fully grown. As for the sows and boars, while almost none of them will charge you for no reason, you still don't want to be the most exciting thing in their pen. Innocent curiosity can quickly turn into trying to assert dominance, and you won't be able to signal submittance the way another pig would.

To be of white, European stock is to be forever locked into a state of nature-based empathy that honestly is stronger than most human/human empathy. That's why white people keep voting for policy that directly inhibits them in favor of lesser developed races because white people instinctively see it as "helping livestock" which will help them thrive later.

This sense of animal empathy extends to less conventional species as well because of the off-chance that it just so happens to add to survival. That's why white people are the main consumers of pets and pet trade stuff. This is also why white people feel uncomfortable in households without plants and animals because whites know you're fucked on an instinct level.

Hispanics are honorary whites here thanks to all the ancestral gene pool fuckery from the Spanish.

Any large animal is dangerous because of how easily they can kill you, intentionally or accidentally. I keep domestic pigs and sometimes the boars will charge you and want to mess you up. While attacks are rare, he’s still a moron for not being more careful around his warthog.

-- I asked Austin if he thinks Waylon regretted attacking him before he was killed. He went silent for a few seconds before responding. “I don’t think it was Waylon who attacked me,” he said. “I was attacked by a warthog.”

He said it best. The animal lost association with its parent, like all/most animals do. It "forgot" itself. Most animals don't retain bonds that way. They're meant to continue on and move forward. Why would a dear distinguish its mother from any other bear?

Because animal cognition is a clusterfuck. You can theoretically have an animal that is as smart as a human but has no self concept and no real creative thought. You can have an animal that has the self concept and inner world of a human with less intelligence than a cat living in perpetual fear and confusion. You can have two animals of equal overall intelligence who trade the top dog spot depending on which skill you test. There are forms of animal retardation and upbringing-dependent animal IQ that man is willfully ignorant of. And in some cases, humans are dumber than chimps and orangutans.

It's a brutal fucking kill.
At first, the tiger appears confused and attacks him, kind of half-heartedly, then backs off when he screams or something (it was a webm; no audio).
But when the tiger finally goes for him, it grabs his head and neck in his mouth and carries him off into the woods (inside the zoo enclosure) with extreme speed.
It's in a terraced enclosure with multiple levels, and the tiger jumps easily from level to level and the guy's limp body is striking against the walls with every leap.
He's like a rag doll.

No matter how much you try to avoid it indians are directly descended from white people.
That doesn't mean they are entirely like white people but that whites or indians can turn into the other easily enough if they have time and pressure.

>>4908876
No, some Indians might have ancient steppe ancestry from thousands of years ago, but most of them are descended from the brown aboriginal population that inhabited the subcontinent before the light-skinned Aryans invaded. White people would not turn into brown Indians unless they also mixed with a brown aboriginal population.

>>
>>4887138
I know most of you wont have read the article, so I decided to just post some highlights.

https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/warthog-attack-texas-exotics/
>The attack had shredded his lower body and filled his boots with blood, and then left gaping holes in his torso and neck.

>“People are so mean to each other for no reason, but animals, they’ve always felt peaceful to me,” he told me as he fixed a fence on the edge of the ranch, keeping one eye on an anxious herd of African kudu apparently upset by the presence of his all-terrain vehicle. “And unlike people, they almost always give back what you put into them.”

>But there was one animal that Austin poured more of himself into than any other: Waylon. Their bond formed on a cold December night in 2017, seconds after the tiny warthog took its first breath. The piglet’s mother had died in labor, but Austin immediately assumed her place, cradling the hamster-size infant in one hand and a bottle of milk in the other. He moved the animal into his parents’ home, creating a makeshift nursery out of a plastic container, hay, and baby blankets. Eventually, as the weather outside warmed, Austin built the warthog a small wooden house beside his parents’ home, where the pig was able to spend his days gaining strength and roughhousing with the family’s bulldog. Austin decided to name the rambunctious warthog as an homage to another unruly figure, outlaw country legend Waylon Jennings.

>Waylon soon grew to be “two hundred fifty pounds of pure protein,” as Austin likes to say—more than an average-sized NFL linebacker.
>>
>>4909376
>Waylon had appeared to be his typical friendly self that October day at his dinnertime. He greeted Austin at the front gate, happily accepted some back scratches, and trotted beside him as the two walked to a nearby feeding trough. About twenty minutes after he’d arrived, Austin had just finished feeding Daisy, a potbellied pig he’s owned since she was a piglet, in an adjacent pen. He reentered the warthog enclosure and was walking toward his all-terrain vehicle, parked at the gate.

>Suddenly his right leg crumpled behind him and he found himself tumbling forward, landing some fifteen feet away. As Austin gathered his bearings, Waylon’s bulky, gray head emerged from a swirling cloud of dust near his feet. Before Austin could stand up and run, Waylon thrust his face between the rancher’s lower legs and began violently swinging his tusks back and forth. One tusk stabbed Austin twice in the right calf and the other once in the left calf. His right leg was gashed from the knee to the upper thigh, an injury so wide that Austin was later able to put his hand inside it. He remembers the sensation of cool air hitting warm muscle and the realization that blood was pouring out of his jeans and filling his boots.

>For a split second, Austin thought the incident might come to an abrupt end, that Waylon had merely decided to deliver a forceful message—“This is my pen and I’m the man around here now!”—in the only way he knew. But a momentary glimpse of the warthog’s narrowed, rage-filled eyes dispelled that notion. As Austin attempted to scoot backward, he realized that Waylon wasn’t stopping. The warthog was barreling forward, attempting to pin his owner to the ground. “He was in murder mode,” Austin said.

Manhood damage warning.
>Before Austin could fight back, Waylon hooked his owner four more times in the upper left leg and genitals. Several more stab wounds to his upper right leg followed in rapid succession. Reflexively, Austin attempted to gouge out the warthog’s eyes, but he was blocked by bony facial armor. Austin grabbed on to Waylon’s tusks instead, slicing open his wrist. After three more gashes in his abdomen, Austin attempted to put Waylon in a headlock. But the animal jerked upward, plunging his tusk into Austin’s voice box, leaving a quarter-size hole in his neck from which a piece of an artery dangled like a grisly necklace. The blow knocked him onto his back, leaving his entire body exposed to the rampaging boar.

>Somehow, when he needed it most, Austin caught a break. Lying on his back and bleeding out, he may have looked dead to Waylon. The warthog relented, momentarily. Pumped full of adrenaline, Austin staggered to his feet and clambered halfway up an eight-foot fence using a foothold. It would take five tries to swing his body over the top.

>By the time he made it to the pen, Shane felt like he’d walked into a gruesome crime scene. His first instinct was to push the tissue back inside Austin’s body, as if trying to put his son back together. “It was horrible,” Shane said. “I just knew I needed to get him to the hospital as soon as possible.”

HE LIVED.
>Doctors would later tell the Riley family that by the time Austin reached University Hospital in San Antonio, thirty minutes away, he’d lost nearly half his blood; much more, they said, and he would have died. Even more shocking was that Waylon’s tusks came within millimeters of severing multiple arteries. It would take doctors eleven surgeries to repair the damage to Austin’s body. Though the official count stands at fifteen, neither Austin nor his doctors could be entirely sure of exactly how many times Waylon gored his owner. Some wounds were just too messy for them to be certain.

>The night of the attack, Austin’s parents asked an exotic-animal broker who worked with Austin to kill Waylon. Afterward, Waylon’s head was cut off and sent to a lab so he could be tested for rabies. The results came back negative. His slaughter was partly an act of revenge but also an acknowledgment that the warthog could never be allowed around humans again. Shane and Gail deleted all photos of the animal from their phones. Unwilling to be in the presence of another warthog, Austin had Peaches relocated to another ranch.

Honestly one of the more brutal animal attack stories I've read. Up there with the black bear eating the dude's leg while he was still alive. Him surviving is insane.
