The point is, it's just a fake fact because it won't kill the dog, and it's also a dangerous advice because when you're reaching for the dog's front legs while he's in an attack mode, you're opening your vital areas (face, neck, head) for bites... If it's a life or death situation, use some kind of a weapon (stick, bat, knife, whatever), go for the dog's eyes, punch or kick behind the ribs, etc. If you're trying to protect someone who's being attacked, by far the best way to disable the dog is to get to him from behind, grab his collar, pull it up and twist. Once the dog is standing on his rear legs and his blood supply gets cut by his own weight as you continue to pull him up while twisting the collar, he'll stop attacking and will go limp in 10-15 seconds. If the dog is too large and heavy, elbow choke from behind instead. All of it is much more likely to work than the pulling front legs apart nonsense.

Bloody hell, lets get back on topic

Can we stop talking about harming dogs?

If you pull a dogs legs apart, they will dislocate from the socket. That’s it. That’s literally it. You’ll fuck up the brachial nerves (exactly like you would find in a human being that has a shoulder socket dislocation), but there’s absolutely no major anatomy such as heart or lungs attached. It’s basic anatomy.

This is a complete and utter nonsense. Pulling a dog's front legs apart will not collapse their lungs or rip their heart or damage any other internal organs, killing the dog. If it's a smaller size dog, and if you have the strength, you might pull its legs out of the sockets and cause extreme pain and probably permanent injury. Most likely though, you won't have the strength, and it'll just make the dog more aggressive and violent. I would also like to see you try to do that to a big heavy dog lol. Seriously, what a shitty misconception.

Same At first I thought there's been a typo and they meant "gehostet", but then it didn't make any sense at all either

This article is in German and a long read (3 pages), still mesmerizing and well-writen. Also it's posted posted because my pet peeve (investors) are concerned. Seem to remember to have heard about this documentation project, didn't know what happened to it until I read this article. http://11freunde.de/artikel/all-or-nothing-beziehungsweise-nothing/5783105

Had a darts match tonight, and the opponent team had a dog. But after some time she decided to come sit with us.

Rangnicks last press conference looked very interesting. Basically saying that the club lacks people with football intelligence in scouting, the medical team, and in recruitment. And that the players aren’t training with intensity. It’s quite bold to basically go out and say that not just the players, but all the people you work with day-to-day aren’t good enough. And it feels different from Mourinho, where you could dismiss everything he said as being self-preservation or reputation management. Because it’s not just that he doesn’t care about coddling or protecting the club. The important thing is that it feels like Rangnick really doesn’t care whether the press and public rate him.

That is the method I have heard, supposedly collapses their lungs.

I thought the same. My 2nd theory was that it's "gekostet" in fränkisch dialect, but that made no sense in relation to Hertha.

A truly brilliant read; that's the content I still subscribe to 11Freunde for... I didn't know anything about the documentary project, but I am also not surprised with the outcome. Yet another reminder of what to expect when a club prostitutes itself to the highest bidder with no regard to the long-term consequences.

@Waylander and any other Lee Child & Andrew Child/Jack Reacher lovers, his next book is due out in October this year.

It makes even more sense to know how to train and socialise your dog and how not to leave young children unattended...
