2.“Hogswill eat youthefirst chancethey get.”

3.“Pretty much any large domestic animal:cattle,sheep,horses, pigs, etc. We’ve bred them to be much more docile than their wild counterparts, and they are. But they are all more than capable of doing lethal harm to a human being under the right circumstances.”

4.“Moose.”

8.“Swans. They’re basically geese that have glammed up.”

9.“Raccoons. People think they’re like house cats, but they will tear you up andinfect you with rabies.”

10.“I meanthe average house catcan really mess up a person if it wants to. Those claws and teeth can be vicious and really fucking hurt.They can put you in a hospital.”

11.“Reindeer.They causeroad accidents.”
