I was bitten by a dog once. That's about the extent of my trauma. Well, not even trauma, I still love dogs so, that's the extent of my attack history.

I live in Australia. And I used to live in the bush.

So yeah... not even sure where to begin.

Notable incidents include getting chased by snakes several times and getting the crap kicked out of me by a cassowary.

Oh, this doesn't really count, but when I was a kid I saw my dad get owned by a wombat.

I was bitten by a duck once. That was... unusual. and when I was small, I was chased by a goose, in hindsight, it was rather funny.

I've been attacked here by wild nutria:

they usually run off if you put a boot to 'em, but occasionally I've had to put 'em down with a small shotshell or a machete.
...and then there are the wild turkeys. They tend not to charge unless you get stupid with 'em, though.

While overseas, I was accosted by wild pigs and feral dogs occasionally. Never had to put one down, though.

Me and a friend were half-charged at by an elephant in Kenya. It would start trotting towards us, then stop and flap it's ears in protest to us being so close to the herd (which we were trying to photograph).

Since I live in Ireland, where there are literally no poisonous animals, no reptiles, and virtually no large predators, I was wondering what dangerous animals you live with on a daily basis, and if you have ever been attacked by an animal.
I have never been attacked or threatened by any wild animals, I was once bitten someones pet dog, but thats pretty much as bad as it can get here.
What county, if you don't mind me asking? Tyrone here.

No, I've never been attacked by an animal, for the same reason as the OP. I'm so lucky...

I was randomly bitten by someones dog in the street the other day. It hurt like hell but luckily didn't puncture the skin, left a nasty mark though.

A wild bird.

Cool story, I was walking along a lake by me when I noticed some baby birds in the grass. It thought to myself "Where's their mom?" and my question was then swiftly answered as the damn bird swooped down and attacked me. I was wearing a hat at the time and it still has scratch marks on it.

My dog gets aggressive when you try to take food from her, so I have some scars on my arms. I've found that if you shout and hit back, she backs off :D

I also once had a group of rhinos charge the car I was in, but we were already driving away so nothing came of it.

I get attacked by my rabbits when putting food in. Trixie and Patch love trying to take my hands off just for putting food near them.

>.> so much for "dont bite the hand that feeds you". lol

When I was little, I was attacked by a herd of deer. According to my parents, I disappeared amid a sea of brown fur and hooves.

I also had a cat that one day decided it'd had enough of being harassed by 8 year old me, and attacked my face. I had three deep scratches running from my hairline across my face to my jaw. Sweetest cat ever, he lived to the ripe old age of 20 :3

I almost got attacked by a cow...

and my sister has 2 Great Danes and one attacked me because I was in the backyard. My brother-in-law is training the female one to attack intruders and apparently I'm one. She bit my leg.

And I have had a bat swoop me & birds attack... I live in Tennessee, hell!

Whatever, just wash your hands.
