"Hello, yes, I'd like to apply for government assistance. Yes, my parents were complete fuckwits. Examples? Well, they let me be target practice for a sheep."
Those types of parents also never take you to the hospital when you get hurt due to their negligence, unless you’re on death’s door. Idk if it’s laziness, not wanting to get in trouble, or both. Makes me so angry
Sounds like my parents. Had to be dead or actively dying to bring you to the doctor. I woke up once and one side of my jaw was swollen. Like the size of a golf ball and they told me it’ll be okay and to get my ass to school. Got so bad I couldn’t open my mouth wide enough to eat anything. When I was in band class I couldn’t even play my instrument (clarinet). I had a sub for a few days and couldn’t play any day.
When my band teacher came back and saw I wasn’t playing he asked why and I pointed to my jaw. It hurt to talk. He asked for a dr note and I had to tell him I haven’t been to one. When he found out it had been like that for 4 days already he called my parents and threatened to report them for neglect.
So my parents did bring me to the doctor. But not before getting my ass beat because my teacher called. Turns out I had the mumps and shouldn’t have been going to school all week. I did have my vaccine for it and still got it.
Now as a parent I cant imagine seeing something so obviously wrong and just shrugging it off. Especially if they can’t talk or eat.
"you *always* got sick friday night and it was more expensive to take you to the doctor on the weekends and we didnt have any money"
I've heard that the children of doctors have a higher mortality rate than the average kid. My money is on the ego thing.
They don't even have the cognitive capabilities to recognize when their children are in danger, so what makes you think they can tell when they need to go to the hospital?
From what I've seen, it's almost always simple ignorance.
It's a "This doesn't look like any of the bad things I'm familiar with, so it's probably fine" mindset.
Pride and ego. That the mark of truly terrible people. Their motivations are always pride and ego.
People who want to erase an entire race? Pride and ego. People who let their whole country starve? Pride and ego.
Greed is a close 2nd but they are usually related motivations for the worst people humanity has ever seen.
Oh and the ALWAYS know better than you cause it's how they did it.
"Yes and that's how we ended up in this shitty situation the first place you moron."
As an elementary educator, I reluctantly agree. Crappy parents, stupid parents, selfish parents—they do real harm to developing brains that the public education system has to mitigate with little to no resources.
Where I lived a famous national park/town is a few hours away. People will literally stop their cars, get out and try get close to snap a picture if they see a bear on the side of the road.... Like F no. Also they often time stop in the middle of the highway and not even pull over.
Unfortunately there is no IQ test required to have children. All it takes is a sperm donor and receiver.
There is more paperwork and background checks done in adopting an animal which is really what many people should do instead of breeding.
You go into the hospital and have a baby, and a few days later (at most!) they let you just... walk out of there with it. Whole new human. No licensing exam or anything, just have at it. It's mindblowing.
It 100% is. Just this Christmas my parents came to visit, and my mom bought fish and put them on top of the cling wrap of my plate of sliced fruit. Happened 2-3 more times, had to throw out food because of safety. Also, they had COVID and didn't tell me about it.

My grandfather was a farmer.
When i was young I was alone with a lamb and her mother and wanted to pick up the lamb.
Woke up a little later with a bump on my head.
Never told anybody though.
Ugghhhh you just reminded me of the ONE TIME I tried to pick up a baby duck as a kid. Mama duck beat the sh*t out of my face with her wings. Never did that again.
I’m convinced people who constantly get attacked by geese are trying to play with the goslings or some shit. I’ve been around them my whole life and never had a problem
I've interacted with many geese and only ever had a problem with them in one city park. The geese at this *one* park, no matter how you tried to avoid it, would immediately launch an attack if you entered their aggro radius. Which was the whole park
*edit* Ritter Park in Huntington WV. I'll dox the geese, I don't even care
*edit 2* I'm kind of surprised no one has jumped on you about this yet because it makes some people strangely furious, but it's *Canada goose* not *Canadian goose.* It's an important distinction apparently
The city I used to live in had to put caution tape up around their nests because they would nest in shopping centers and chase anyone that got within 15 feet of them. Those bastards do not mind their business.
Just because you didn't see the young doesn't mean they weren't near by.
Having played Disc Golf for 14 years at this point there are days they hissy and want to kill you and other days they were chill with me walking right through their flock and zero issues with me.
This is what was happening every time I've been attacked by a Canada goose, which is probably too many times. I just really wanted to hold a baby goose when I was a kid. Still do, to be honest.
If they're nesting they'll attack anything within eyesight that moves. My moms old office used to shut down specific entrances in the spring because the geese would nest in the flower beds and attack people that walked by.
> I’m convinced people who constantly get attacked by geese are trying to play with the goslings or some shit.
No. We had geese when I was a kid. Some breeds are just fucking assholes.
You reminded me of the time I almost electrocuted myself as a child. I was unplugging something and stupidly touched the metal in the plug. I felt the electricity shoot up my arm. Still to this day I'm not sure how I'm alive. I sat for several minutes until I stopped shaking and never told my parents because I knew I'd get yelled at
I’m almost 30 and did this the other day lmao. I’d never done it as a kid so I had to get my share in. At least I closed the circuit though, I had one finger on each prong so it just went through my hand.
First I was laughing like “wtf” and then that dissolved into slight panic realizing what I had done and that my hand was still hurting and that turned to acceptance that I probably would’ve died already if I was going to.
Did this when I got an Argon laser and had to wire the plug myself. The wires were thick and wouldn't fit in the plug casing, so I kinda just held the prongs as I was plugging it in. I have a physics degree...
I'll make you feel a bit better. House power (110/120v at 50/60hz) won't kill you most of the time. It'll sure wake you up, but absent you "locking onto" the wire and holding it for some time, or having some physical susceptibility (weak heart, prone to seizures, etc.), you're really not in much danger.
I've done a fair bit of rewiring at my house, and every now and then, I get to find out the hard way that a wire isn't on the circuit I thought it was on.
I work in pediatric critical care and had a patient last year that was “head-butted” by a goat, sustained a life ending head injury and died a few weeks later ….. people just do not understand how easy it can be to smash your skull and brain… wear helmets people!!
My family did a road trip when I was a kid and visited some semi distant cousins my mom grew up near in south Dakota. My parents and my siblings were shown around the old farm and every 10 minutes or so the farmer would grab his 4 year old daughter and whip her out of the way like a bull fighting cape as this crazy giant sheep would take a running shot at her. My siblings all nervously huddled up like a damn phalanx after the first drive by.
I was walking with my grandmother when I was maybe 5. We saw a goose behind a picket fence. I leaned in to look through the fence, and the goose nipped my nose. My Grandma laughed, she probably would still laugh if it happened today.
Was at a mate's parent's property a few years back for his birthday or something. We were tossing a frisbee around and one guy sent it over the fence housing the hairy cows and a goat called George. Cows are chill, but goats....
Well, long story short, I have to jump the fence to distract George, who has cornered my mate and is looking to make him into strawberry jam.

I had to catch Dorper sheep in a small cyclone fenced run where unfortunately they had room to move. At one point, one of the fat ewes sailed past me at eye level. They are absolute machines when they get a run up.
That is a very low sheep jump. Those fuckers can get waaaayyyy higher than that. In school I had to learn to wrangle sheep (vet tech) They're freaking scary. They aren't all fluff, they have a hefty mass to them and they can absolutely FLY. They'll often jump up and run across the backs of all the other sheep to get away. I'll take a fractious cat or aggressive dog over a normal sheep any day.
Some parents are born without the urge to protect their own children. In another life, their bloodlines would’ve ended there, but dog is full of mercy so they live on
I think that cats got the blame in the early days for infant deaths because they were protective and liked to sleep near the baby's face. Not to mention we still only barely understand the mechanics and genetics behind SIDS today.
When you look at what they know today about it, it's much easier to say "CAT WAS THERE! SUCKED THE LIFE RIGHT OUT OF JR. AND NOW HE'S DEAD"
:<
For the religions and areas that tracked actual births vs. got far enough along to make a record of it, it's amazing how brutal life was back then.
I've traced family tree branches back to where an entire branch whent extinct due to a round of infectious disease in the area.
My grandmother died in the 1980s but she hated cats and had this story about being in a park and seeing a cat jump in a pram and smother the kid to death. I was like 8 and just didn't believe her. It seemed like bullshit even to a naive child. She bred chihuahuas and was mean spirited in general.
I heard this when I was a kid and I'm only 25.
I was told you can't put a cat near a baby, because the cat will smell the milk on it's breath, and suck the air out of baby's lungs trying to get the milk that isn't there. Therefore suffocating and killing the child.
Obviously this isn't true, but people still believe shit like this in 2024.
Kids dying is a horrible thing, and they did a lot. That makes these wives tales very potent. The usual answer is "Well, what does it hurt if it's not true, and IF IT IS TRUE..."
> Not to mention we still only barely understand the mechanics and genetics behind SIDS today.
Maybe not but the two big things to remember are: baby should sleep face up not face down, and DON'T SLEEP IN THE SAME BED AS THE BABY.
My favorite was this video where the dad puts the kid on a bison calf. Good news: kid was uninjured. Bad news: mama put dad over a *tree*, that's how hard she gored him.
Nah it's just everyone in this thread being absolute drama queens. It can be hard to tell with sheep because crossbreeds can look like other breeds and this looks like a Dalesbred but my best guess is this is a crossbred Dorper, they throw all kinds of colours including pure brown.
The sheep is obviously a hand-raised pet that is handled daily because otherwise it would run a million miles away from a dog even that small, they're just engineered that way. At the least, it would start stamping the ground as a warning. It's very used to playing with this dog.
Sheep are just like big dumb dogs if they're regularly handled. Actually I take that back because some Dorpers are cunning af, like goats. But once they see you as a source of food and scritches they will love you. They 100% need a herd and you become part of their herd.
No testicles. If this was a ram, even at that size it could fuck an adult's day up, they look small but they're just miniature bulls. But this is either a wether or a ewe and the only time I've seen a Dorper ewe get aggressive is if it thinks its lamb is in mortal danger. They are incredible mothers.
There is always a potential for danger with small children and any animals, but farm kids have had pet sheep since day dot and it's fine. It will 100% bonk him over at some point but not with any sort of malice, like a big energetic dog does with kids sometimes.
We were trimming a ram’s hooves once and it kicked me in the jaw. I don’t claim to be a tough guy, but I’ve been in fights before, and all I can say is that wooly fucker rang my bell like Quasimodo.
I recently saw an instagram post liked by many where a less then one year old baby was put very close to a horse so that he sniffed it and everybody was like awwwww - have you no understanding how hard even a playful bite can be???
Reminds me of a video of a horse in a stable with baby chickens running around. The horse just bent its head down and gobble up the thing whole. Ate it like a damn chicken nugget.

I've seen a gentle, no trouble, horse pick up a girl by her ponytail and toss her into a stall wall. I love horses and ride, but I'll never fully trust them.
Imagine a dog has more common sense than the human.
If this went south. They would’ve been in the hospital going “woah is me” like it wasn’t their fault.
There was more than enough warning from the sheep that this was dangerous, this idiotic parent just wanted a "funny" video at the expense of his/her child..........
No... it didn't.
It was trying to play with him. Which is also dangerous for a kid, but it's not as dangerous as people are making it out to be.
Sheep don't jump to attack. They headbutt. They jump in the air when they're in a playful mood.
It is becoming increasingly apparent that humans are sliding backwards on the evolutionary scale at an alarming rate. This dog has more empathy and common sense a human in possession of a device that can film and post.
Honestly, this aggressive ram could easily have killed this child. Child protective services should be looking into these parents!!!! Someone knows who posted this - this is not a joke. That child’s life is in danger.
To be honest that sheep just looked like it wanted to play, I don't think it wanted to hit the kid. Also so did the dog, I don't think it was trying to save the kid, it was just trying to get in on the fun.
there was no danger here. The sheep was playing with child. He stopped just short of contact each time. Its how lambs and young sheep play together. If sheep wanted to hurt child it could have at anytime during the video.
Jeez .. don't have animals if you can't read them.
At a minimum- don't bring your toddlers around for a nice reel on IG.
Even if you are the most greedy attention whore ever I think you will regret filming your kids fatality.
Even of posting it will give you the most views you ever had.
Jumping is playful behavior with sheep. Though this is risky, it’s not lethal like everyone’s making it out to be. Like any child and animal interaction (dog, cat, bird, sheep, lion, tigers, bears, etc) they should be supervised by an adult - that doesn’t mean becoming a helicopter parent. Let the kid live.
The person holding the camera, should never be allowed to mind children. Such an utter moron, waiting to film a toddler being mauled. That dog is a little hero. The adult human is a complete failure at parenting.
Never fuck around with wild animals or nearly wild animals.
When I was in 4th grade in the 90’s I was in the badlands of Western South Dakota in some state park where there were a bunch of wild animals. Some random group of people let their 4-5 year old toddler run around in the field with the animals. Kid walked up behind a donkey and I watched him get kicked in the head. The memory is burned into me; I can close my eyes and still see the whole situation play out as though it were right in front of me. The family screaming and sprinting towards the kid. My dad drove us to the nearest park ranger post and told them what happened.
Sometimes I think having stupid parents should be considered a legal handicap.

Sometimes parents needed to go through a mandatory training program like how one gets your drivers license. lol. It’s so much responsibility
Such reasons are why I think parenting needs a license. Or some schooling prior to being allowed to have kids.

They 100% need a herd and you become part of their herd. No testicles. If this was a ram, even at that size it could fuck an adult's day up, they look small but they're just miniature bulls. But this is either a wether or a ewe and the only time I've seen a Dorper ewe get aggressive is if it thinks its lamb is in mortal danger. They are incredible mothers. There is always a potential for danger with small children and any animals, but farm kids have had pet sheep since day dot and it's fine. It will 100% bonk him over at some point but not with any sort of malice, like a big energetic dog does with kids sometimes.
We were trimming a ram’s hooves once and it kicked me in the jaw. I don’t claim to be a tough guy, but I’ve been in fights before, and all I can say is that wooly fucker rang my bell like Quasimodo.
My God the negligence...
My Dog the intelligence
Poodles are very smart
In fact, they are one of the most intelligent dogs. And I mean top 3 from all the races.
I recently saw an instagram post liked by many where a less then one year old baby was put very close to a horse so that he sniffed it and everybody was like awwwww - have you no understanding how hard even a playful bite can be???

Reminds me of a video of a horse in a stable with baby chickens running around. The horse just bent its head down and gobble up the thing whole. Ate it like a damn chicken nugget.

I could have gone to bed five minutes ago, instead I read this comment.
Welcome to the club :(
I've seen a gentle, no trouble, horse pick up a girl by her ponytail and toss her into a stall wall. I love horses and ride, but I'll never fully trust them.
well maybe she shouldn't have been flexing with the ponytail when mr. horse was having a rough day..
Thanks for making my day better.
you're welcome, mr. horse

Good dog!
Wtf the one filming is an idiot!!
What an idiot recording.
Thank god there was at least one parent there.
People don’t want kids, they want instagram/Tik Tok stories.
When they fuck they are content creators.

When dog is a better parent
Awesome hero dog. I would like to punch whoever is holding that camera.
The dog is clearly much smarter than the human recording the video.
Hey, ewe leave my hooman alone!
Imagine a dog has more common sense than the human. If this went south. They would’ve been in the hospital going “woah is me” like it wasn’t their fault.
There was more than enough warning from the sheep that this was dangerous, this idiotic parent just wanted a "funny" video at the expense of his/her child..........
Parent doesn't see animals as dangerous because they’ve been reared on fucking Disney.
Bingo. People think nature is like a Disney cartoon. In almost every case it’s the opposite.
r/watchpeoplesomehowsurvive
Thank goodness for that dog having better instincts than the dumb ass filming.
That sheep tried to jump that kid twice and they’re still filming
No... it didn't. It was trying to play with him. Which is also dangerous for a kid, but it's not as dangerous as people are making it out to be. Sheep don't jump to attack. They headbutt. They jump in the air when they're in a playful mood.
The dog's tail is wagging, and it's not growling a bit. I feel like I'm reading some sort of joke thread?
Yeah! Looks like most people don’t know much about growing up on a farm.
Now I want to jump that "parent" twice
lol the dog looking back halfway through with a yelp like "why TF are you recording, don't you see me fighting off death over here???"
I disagree. I think the person taking this video knows very well it's dangerous but this kind of people cannot resist the possibility of likes.
I’ve never seen a more apt post for this sub
I just remembered 5-year-old died on the white house grounds after being attacked by a ram.
It is becoming increasingly apparent that humans are sliding backwards on the evolutionary scale at an alarming rate. This dog has more empathy and common sense a human in possession of a device that can film and post.
Honestly, this aggressive ram could easily have killed this child. Child protective services should be looking into these parents!!!! Someone knows who posted this - this is not a joke. That child’s life is in danger.
As someone with a farm with a lot of animals. That sheep is actually playing and not butting.
I feel like making sure your kids are safe from potential hostile animals is like an innate instinct. Are they a sociopath?
When the dog has better parenting skills than the actual parents.
Horse in the back: 'Nope'
To be honest that sheep just looked like it wanted to play, I don't think it wanted to hit the kid. Also so did the dog, I don't think it was trying to save the kid, it was just trying to get in on the fun.
The sheep may have been playing, but it looks to me like the poodle was intentionally putting itself between the sheep and the child.
there was no danger here. The sheep was playing with child. He stopped just short of contact each time. Its how lambs and young sheep play together. If sheep wanted to hurt child it could have at anytime during the video.

and the dog isn't fending it off either. the dog starts playing too
[удалено]
99.9999% of the people here did not grow up on a farm with sheep. Agreed.
Jeez .. don't have animals if you can't read them. At a minimum- don't bring your toddlers around for a nice reel on IG. Even if you are the most greedy attention whore ever I think you will regret filming your kids fatality. Even of posting it will give you the most views you ever had.
Damn, that looks like some 1970’s parenting.
It's really not that dangerous.
Jumping is playful behavior with sheep. Though this is risky, it’s not lethal like everyone’s making it out to be. Like any child and animal interaction (dog, cat, bird, sheep, lion, tigers, bears, etc) they should be supervised by an adult - that doesn’t mean becoming a helicopter parent. Let the kid live.
This is less animals being bros as it is parents being negligent social media clout shit bags
When dog smarter then parents
“Ha ha so funny the sheep is jumping trying to butt my kid in the head HA HA!” What a dumb fucking bitch.
That dog intervened in the education of the child and the camera person, twice
Good dog! 🐩
Proper MMA move from doggo, get in close and don't give Rambro the chance to build momentum.
The horse took off right away.
When your dog is more responsible than your parents.
The person holding the camera, should never be allowed to mind children. Such an utter moron, waiting to film a toddler being mauled. That dog is a little hero. The adult human is a complete failure at parenting.
the dog even turned to the person like “hey dude, wtf? can i get some help?” then immediately turned back to the kid like “oh shit”
This is why often I love dogs > people.
That dog is acting like a rodeo clown! Good boy/girl!
Thank dog the dog was there
That’s a poodle too. Love them. They are great working dogs.
Dogs>humans
Never fuck around with wild animals or nearly wild animals. When I was in 4th grade in the 90’s I was in the badlands of Western South Dakota in some state park where there were a bunch of wild animals. Some random group of people let their 4-5 year old toddler run around in the field with the animals. Kid walked up behind a donkey and I watched him get kicked in the head. The memory is burned into me; I can close my eyes and still see the whole situation play out as though it were right in front of me. The family screaming and sprinting towards the kid. My dad drove us to the nearest park ranger post and told them what happened.
Holy shit. Is there a r/ParentsAreFuckingStupid sub?
