It's Always Necessary To Defend Yourself From Wild Animals, And It's More Humane To Smack The Animal, Instead Of Simply Killing It, And It's Also Okay To Bring A Gun With You, Just In case One Shows Up, But Instead Of Shooting The Animal, Simply Just Shoot In The Air To Scare The Animal Off!

It depends on how well you know the animal, not so much the individual but the species, and its behaviour & body language. No need for a gun/rifle, just a pocket full of fireworks/bangers

It's Very Cool That There Are People Who Can Communicate With Animals

It's more about understanding that we're animals too

I've never known them to be temperamental, and having been around swans for a very long time I've got to
know their body language and act accordingly Yes, Bryn may hiss at me but he's only doing his job.
Many thanks for the favour, Richard

Well the English ones must be more cultured because the brute over here will attack at will  (no pun intended...but at will works)

You should stand your ground, and give it a sharp smack on its beak. The first time I saw Bryn he came at me, I gave him a right smack on his beak. He was so shocked that someone had stood up to him that he relaxed & swam away. He's never tried it since.

Hah...here I'd get arrested for animal cruelty after the video captured the act and then was released like in the current Ray Rice domestic abuse case

I was only protecting myself against a wild animal, and a sharp tap on the beak is far far better than ringing its neck, which I would never do.
Domestic abuse, be it of fellow humans or animals, is a crime here. Back in the early '80s, I worked as a researcher with the RSPCA, (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) on what was to become the Wildlife & Countryside Act. It also covers domestic animals.
