Not me directly... but about two years ago, my brother was coming back from the train station late at night (after 10 pm) and called me saying that somebody or something had been following him.

He sounded rather frantic, and i told him to just run as he wasnt too far away from our house. he then told me it was some sort of animal and it calmed him down a bit knowing that... so he just stood there talking to me about what he thought it was... eventually he put me on video call and all i saw was 2 bright dots of something that allegedly was not a dog, dingo or kangaroo. It was too tall for a cat in all honesty and as my brother could see it better he said it looked like a puma (personally i still think it was a dog) i asked him to get closer but he was now panicking, and decided to leave eventually he made it home... i will admit it was a big creature as i recognize the bushes and had an idea of how tall they are, but we live in australia so there aint no big predators in here... especially no wild cats, so if it was a wild cat it must had been an escaped smuggled animal, as there is miles of fields and hills near my suburd that make it to the more outback areas of my state where i imagine it came from.

Not going to go internet warrior here, but true fact: any grown man (even an average sized 16 year old desu) with a knife can fight pretty much any predatory animal in the civilized world no problem. The danger with a cat (not talking about fuck huge jungle cats and lions) is that it gets the drop on you and has a bite on your throat or fucks a limb up and is clawing you before you know it. If itcs alone, knows you see it, isn't a bear, and it's anywhere in the civilized world, it's probably as scared as you or more. If not, it's starving and not going to make smart choices trying to attack you. What will get you killed is trying to run and giving it the advantage of being on the offense.

Its illegal to carry any sort of weapon even for self defence in australia, so if my brother had had a knife on him and was being attack my said animal... he would had been fined if not arrested if he survived and made it to the hospital. It probably would had been pretty scared considering we are in a suburb area which just happens to sit outside fields and shit so no place for a potential cougar. But again we aint got no large land predators here which i imagine most people here are not prepare to deal with (including ourselves).

That's fucking enraging. Australia being nothing but things that want you dead is a meme, yeah, but there are absolutely dangerous animals there. Setting that aside, people can be dangerous. How the fuck can a country get away with denying even basic tools to a man?

Australia is a country of covicts who think they escaped their jailors the people, here are passive to the point its both pathetic and seemingly genetic... most people woudl agree that the govt and things are bad but will simply do nothing and hope the govt will change.

This country is pretty backwards and orwellian but nobody will move to do a thing because they beaten it out of people over decades
