    Although isn’t it less to hurt them and more to deter them? You want them to leave you alone, not potentially injured badly to end up suffering or dead in the wild.

        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.

            Unless the difference is not harming the dingo.
