    I think this is a response to the woman jogging that was nearly killed by 4 dingos. I doubt a PVC pipe would help against 4 dingos let alone one. An attacking dog is hard to fight off so I would imagine a dingo is no easier.

      Yeah, but dingoes are classified as Vulnerable, which is one step above Endangered. They might not want to risk people hurting them when the goal is to get them to leave you alone or hold them off until help arrives.

          I figure, it’s better than nothing. The force behind a good swing is stronger than one might think, too. Some folks would be completely useless if attacked, mind, but some will get some good hard whacks in because of adrenaline.

            Right. But, as I pointed out earlier, dingoes nearly killed a woman just yesterday. They might not be showing you the same courtesy.
