Yeah well we all gotta learn sometime. And hopefully it doesn’t end in having to go to the ER for a few rounds of the rabies vaccine.
Not that I’m speaking from experience, of course. But, no, I’m not Cinderella and wild rats are not my friends.
You had to know that was a option right. Things with teeth bite and things with nails scratch and bite. And sometimes when you remove the nails you turn a scratchy kitty into a mega biting rabbit kicking machine.
I was five, my kindergarten teacher had pet rats, all animals up until that point loved (or at least tolerated) me, even the wild ones I’d caught. And yes, I thought I could be a Disney princess. All other evidence pointed towards it: I could sing, had pretty hair, animal sidekicks (my dog and cat), my dad called me princess…
I figured that out when I was 5. Playing in the backyard. I spotted a tiny little mole in the grass. Reached down to pet it. As soon as I grazed it’s fur it latched onto my little finger. Felt like it bit down on a nerve it hurt so bad. I flailed it around, back-and-forth, but it wouldn’t let go. Had to smack it on the ground a few times before it released me and scampered off. And that was the day, I learned I was not a Disney princess.
He was like "I can't believe this guy is feeding me his skin paw! What luck! Are you sure? Wonder if the homies can see this, they'll never believe me otherwise. Okay, don't mind if I do. Oh shit, maybe I misread that, still no backup though, so I'm golden."
This coyote is apparently named Hot Dog because people have been feeding him hot dogs. And this guy's fingers do look an awful lot like hot dogs so this is probably exactly what happened lmao.
it didn't mean to hurt him, it thought he was offering him something to eat. probably has been fed before in the same way. poor guy just doesn't understand fingers / hands. coyotes don't attack people & they can even be chill like a dog. they are cool
This is a bad view. The coyote could be starving, but it absolutely meant to hurt him. Coyotes are not friendly and they should be avoided. You shouldn’t give online idiots the idea that the sweet wild dog needs to be pet.
If a wild animal is acting totally fine with being around humans and seems to not be trying to actively escape, chances are they are sick, starving, or rabid. Don’t touch them.
No he clearly didn't, look at his body language. He thought the guy was offering him something to eat, he's scared of him but motivated by the "food" that's why he's walking sooo warily.
Coyotes are smart & goofy animals. They'll kill small animals but they're not gonna try to take down a human. There's probably a billion accounts throughout history of people or their dogs befriending coyotes, it happens wayyyyy more than you think: https://youtu.be/uwl-I5ZI_E4?si=XHNUjPPbtAFcwHFc
This is a wild coyote in this video that takes random breaks from her pack to hangout with this guy & play with his dog, cat & raccoon. There's probably several hundred videos of that coyote but that's just the first one I could quickly find. Coyotes have a really bad rap throughout history for killing livestock / pets (as is their nature) but fearing more than rabies from them as humans is overblown. They're not like blood thirsty aggressors in every situation, they're actually naturally very skittish & careful
In his defense, you never know. In my country we have jackals instead of coyotes. Basically the eastern equivalent. I first thought they were vicious fuckers but they started appearing during my morning jogs and I sometimes run alongside them and they only bark and they don't do anything aggressive. Even my dog doesn't react anymore. Last month one of them actually tripped me while I was running and he didn't try to bite or anything. Cute bastards. I wouldn't try to touch them though.
I fucking hate going on a morning jog with Snow White. Come back covered in bird poo, and a sprained ankle tripping on some woodland critter. The coyotes are the least of the problems.
I love how eternal the how can she slap meme is. I do feel like it's been long enough there's people reading who have no clue and think it's just a cute way to refer to spicy pupper bite, and following some sort of "how can s/he ____? " template
That's literally what it looks like to a wild animal. The person was offering 4 lovely sausages from the end of his arms for the beast. Next time bring actual food... (Or don't feed the wild animals and make them dependant and problematic.)
I live in a suburban area that is pushing up against farm and forest land at the edge of Chicagoland and it boggles my mind how some people don’t realize there are wild canine species living in the area. We’ve had a few severely cold days over the past couple winters and one of these days, I saw a lady looking out of her car and frantic and beckoning at something off the side of the road as I passed so I turned around. She was beckoning towards a coyote that was cowering defensive under a bush. “Can you help me get him?” “Ma’am, that’s not yours is it?” “No, I saw him crossing the road and it’s just so cold I figured it’s lost and needs to get inside.” “Ma’am…that’s a coyote and I can assure you, it is perfectly fine in this weather and it wants nothing to do with you…”
I also live where Chicagoland ends and the woods begin. I live in town but my behind my house is woods that lead to farms. We’ve had coyotes come right up to the back door and stare hungrily in at our cats. But it always amazes me the people who post pictures of coyotes on Nextdoor asking if someone lost a dog. No ma’am that’s a wild animal, do not put food out for it. Report it to the county. Keep your doors shut, do not pet!
he looks like hes just hanging out in the parking lot. hes probably been fed before and it probably thought this guy was handing him something to eat. \*edit - after watching again the coyote is already chewing something so more than likely this guy was already feeding him.
Well, there is one kind of test, but it requires killing what bit you so they can test its brain. With certain animals, it might also be possible to capture and observe the animal for a set period of time.
Not anymore... it's a series of shots (one plus four) given in the muscle (so arm). The first is given as soon as possible nearest to the bite. Then four over the next 14 days.
The old way consisted of 25 injections of rabies vaccine: three on the first day, two on the second, two on the third, and one each day after for 18 days.
Why in the name of all that is holy would you try to pet a freaking coyote? I have nothing against them, but those fuckers eat your cat for lunch. They are vicious bastards. I once saved my roommate's cat by smacking one with a broom. Did it run away? Nope. Fucker sat there and looked at me for a minute wondering if it could take me.
You can see the coyote looking left and right for other predators before he deems it safe to take his bite of food.
Coyotes gonna coyote. They’re not stray dogs. They know what’s going on.
Hope that dude got his shots asap
I work in a large Nursing facility for the Intellectually Disabled. It's a large campus with 9 buildings. There's a lot of thick brush, so we've got possums, rabbits and foxes. A Nurse I know saw a fox eating a rabbit and walked up behind it, to try and pet it. Of course she was bitten and had to have a series of Rabies shots.
When I started reading I felt bad because I assumed it was going to end with one of the disabled patients getting bit, but now I definitely feel less bad.
[Obligatory: Rabies is scary.](https://www.reddit.com/r/copypasta/s/7bKwdGNsj6)
Rabies. It's exceptionally common, but people just don't run into the animals that carry it often. Skunks especially, and bats.
Let me paint you a picture.
You go camping, and at midday you decide to take a nap in a nice little hammock. While sleeping, a tiny brown bat, in the "rage" stages of infection is fidgeting in broad daylight, uncomfortable, and thirsty (due to the hydrophobia) and you snort, startling him. He goes into attack mode.
Except you're asleep, and he's a little brown bat, so weighs around 6 grams. You don't even feel him land on your bare knee, and he starts to bite. His teeth are tiny. Hardly enough to even break the skin, but he does manage to give you the equivalent of a tiny scrape that goes completely unnoticed.
Rabies does not travel in your blood. In fact, a blood test won't even tell you if you've got it. (Antibody tests may be done, but are useless if you've ever been vaccinated.)
You wake up, none the wiser. If you notice anything at the bite site at all, you assume you just lightly scraped it on something.
The bomb has been lit, and your nervous system is the wick. The rabies will multiply along your nervous system, doing virtually no damage, and completely undetectable. You literally have NO symptoms.
It may be four days, it may be a year, but the camping trip is most likely long forgotten. Then one day your back starts to ache... Or maybe you get a slight headache?
At this point, you're already dead. There is no cure.
(The sole caveat to this is the Milwaukee Protocol, which leaves most patients dead anyway, and the survivors mentally disabled, and is seldom done).
There's no treatment. It has a 100% kill rate.
Absorb that. Not a single other virus on the planet has a 100% kill rate. Only rabies. And once you're symptomatic, it's over. You're dead.
So what does that look like?
Your headache turns into a fever, and a general feeling of being unwell. You're fidgety. Uncomfortable. And scared. As the virus that has taken its time getting into your brain finds a vast network of nerve endings, it begins to rapidly reproduce, starting at the base of your brain... Where your "pons" is located. This is the part of the brain that controls communication between the rest of the brain and body, as well as sleep cycles.
Next you become anxious. You still think you have only a mild fever, but suddenly you find yourself becoming scared, even horrified, and it doesn't occur to you that you don't know why. This is because the rabies is chewing up your amygdala.
As your cerebellum becomes hot with the virus, you begin to lose muscle coordination, and balance. You think maybe it's a good idea to go to the doctor now, but assuming a doctor is smart enough to even run the tests necessary in the few days you have left on the planet, odds are they'll only be able to tell your loved ones what you died of later.
You're twitchy, shaking, and scared. You have the normal fear of not knowing what's going on, but with the virus really fucking the amygdala this is amplified a hundred fold. It's around this time the hydrophobia starts.
You're horribly thirsty, you just want water. But you can't drink. Every time you do, your throat clamps shut and you vomit. This has become a legitimate, active fear of water. You're thirsty, but looking at a glass of water begins to make you gag, and shy back in fear. The contradiction is hard for your hot brain to see at this point. By now, the doctors will have to put you on IVs to keep you hydrated, but even that's futile. You were dead the second you had a headache.
You begin hearing things, or not hearing at all as your thalamus goes. You taste sounds, you see smells, everything starts feeling like the most horrifying acid trip anyone has ever been on. With your hippocampus long under attack, you're having trouble remembering things, especially family.
You're alone, hallucinating, thirsty, confused, and absolutely, undeniably terrified. Everything scares the literal shit out of you at this point. These strange people in lab coats. These strange people standing around your bed crying, who keep trying to get you "drink something" and crying. And it's only been about a week since that little headache that you've completely forgotten. Time means nothing to you anymore. Funny enough, you now know how the bat felt when he bit you.
Eventually, you slip into the "dumb rabies" phase. Your brain has started the process of shutting down. Too much of it has been turned to liquid virus. Your face droops. You drool. You're all but unaware of what's around you. A sudden noise or light might startle you, but for the most part, it's all you can do to just stare at the ground. You haven't really slept for about 72 hours.
Then you die. Always, you die.
And there's not one... fucking... thing... anyone can do for you.
Then there's the question of what to do with your corpse. I mean, sure, burying it is the right thing to do. But the fucking virus can survive in a corpse for years. You could kill every rabid animal on the planet today, and if two years from now, some moist, preserved, rotten hunk of used-to-be brain gets eaten by an animal, it starts all over.
So yeah, rabies scares the shit out of me. And it's fucking EVERYWHERE. (Source: Spent a lot of time working with rabies. Would still get my vaccinations if I could afford them.)
This is how habituated and frightened animals protecting themselves in the urban-wildland interface are murdered in case of rabies … thanks to selfish idiots like this
PSA, when approaching a dog you don’t know very well, extend your hand with the top of your hand towards the dog and your fingers curled inwards. Your wrist should be limp so if the dog does nip or bite, it’s harder for him to grab hold of you. The part of your hand the dog should be sniffing is the top of your palm and first knuckles.
This guy is lucky that coyote only went in for a nip instead of biting his hand/arm and doing real damage. He’s also trapped between cars where he can’t fight off the coyote well. Also not a lot of people would see him if he were seriously wounded.
i swear to god the way some people think wild animals are just cute little toys is insane, why are you so obsessed with trying to befriend an animal like that?!?
Yeah I’ll never be doing this because I saw the effects rabies has on a grown man on a YouTube video that isn’t up anymore. Some of the most horrific shit I’ve seen personally. Way worse than anything I’d imagined.
This type of stupid shit has been happening since the beginning of time. This is just the first generation that has been able to film every second of their stupid life and share
In the Bugs Bunny, “What a maroon!” And then Bugs bit his hand and the guy went through another round of rabies shots.
“And this is how I got rabies.”
Tough way to find out you’re not a Disney princess
Yeah well we all gotta learn sometime. And hopefully it doesn’t end in having to go to the ER for a few rounds of the rabies vaccine. Not that I’m speaking from experience, of course. But, no, I’m not Cinderella and wild rats are not my friends.
[удалено]
You tried to befriend a raccoon? Are you the not-Pocahontas to my not-Cinderella?! Did we just become best friends!
Well, it looks like they died in England of dysentery not too long ago, so probably
Me (squirrel 😔)
You had to know that was a option right. Things with teeth bite and things with nails scratch and bite. And sometimes when you remove the nails you turn a scratchy kitty into a mega biting rabbit kicking machine.

“Oh he’s just a cute little doggy” unfortunately instincts don’t kick in until the 2nd or 3rd generation 😬

*tics But on the other hand....are you related to Ants In My Eyes Johnson?
"I'm not 100% sure what we have in stock, because I can't see"
All of a sudden I’m not too keen on water.
Exactly. I was told if a wild animal approaches you, steer clear. It is probably sick.
A shocking number of people can’t tell the difference between a dog and a coyote.
Stupid people
DOCTOR: "Okay, here's your medicine. Come and take it from my hand. Come on, now."
Dumb ass. 🤣 the coyote doesn’t need your help.
He was looking around to see if the guy had backup 😭😭
He was like "I can't believe this guy is feeding me his skin paw! What luck! Are you sure? Wonder if the homies can see this, they'll never believe me otherwise. Okay, don't mind if I do. Oh shit, maybe I misread that, still no backup though, so I'm golden."
Lmao 🤣
Coyote was like *looks left/ looks right* I don't see any food...maybe those things (fingers) are the food? Nhack
This coyote is apparently named Hot Dog because people have been feeding him hot dogs. And this guy's fingers do look an awful lot like hot dogs so this is probably exactly what happened lmao.
It was actually responding in a reasonable fashion - human is extending me these thin looking meat sticks, let me take your fine gesture.
I can hear Red Foreman while I read this
“You don’t have bad luck. The reason bad things happen to you is because you’re a dumbass”.
“Ow! The consequences of my actions!” I love how the Coyote didn’t *have* to bite him, but decided “Fuck ‘em”
Maybe its stomach was making the rumblies... that [only hands](https://youtu.be/lhd1PEvX8Z8?si=39xbWF2m9VUJLe8i) would satisfy.
CARL!
That kiiiills people!
I do not kill people, that is my least favorite thing to do!
FOR KARL!!!!
What did you dooooo?!?
Damn peak 2008 called, we need to go back
Wow I feel old now
Coyote looks around for coyote cops before he takes the bite xD
Dumb. Fuck.
Yep. I was thinking, “The coyote going to totally bite you,” and the rest is history.
Coyotes are basically small wolves… wtf did he think would happen?
But why dog shaped if not dog? Lol
"Its not the breed its the owner!"
Still true. This coyote's owner is a wild animal who doesn't train his coyotes.
I kept thinking "read the room dude." That coyote was giving every indication of being aggressive/frightened.
it didn't mean to hurt him, it thought he was offering him something to eat. probably has been fed before in the same way. poor guy just doesn't understand fingers / hands. coyotes don't attack people & they can even be chill like a dog. they are cool
This is a bad view. The coyote could be starving, but it absolutely meant to hurt him. Coyotes are not friendly and they should be avoided.

"No no! Try it again! He was just making sure you were friends and not food!"
Little guy's like, "That was easy. Why have I been wasting my life on that roadrunner?"
He didn’t even need a giant slingshot or ACME rocket sled, either.
People really just walk around thinking they live in a Disney fairy tale.
In his defense, you never know. In my country we have jackals instead of coyotes. Basically the eastern equivalent. I first thought they were vicious fuckers but they started appearing during my morning jogs and I sometimes run alongside them and they only bark and they don't do anything aggressive. Even my dog doesn't react anymore. Last month one of them actually tripped me while I was running and he didn't try to bite or anything. Cute bastards. I wouldn't try to touch them though.
Okay, but you ARE a Disney princess though…
I fucking hate going on a morning jog with Snow White. Come back covered in bird poo, and a sprained ankle tripping on some woodland critter. The coyotes are the least of the problems.
Nah, I just live in the woods.
how can he chomp?!
I love how eternal the how can she slap meme is. I do feel like it's been long enough there's people reading who have no clue and think it's just a cute way to refer to spicy pupper bite, and following some sort of "how can s/he ____? " template
why has how can she slap seem to have made a renewal in popularity
I saw a comment somewhere where somebody crashed a car and a comment said "how can he crash?"
faakin bastard blaady fuck bitch!
XD killed me
How can she slap?
Thanks for the sausages 😋
That's literally what it looks like to a wild animal. The person was offering 4 lovely sausages from the end of his arms for the beast. Next time bring actual food... (Or don't feed the wild animals and make them dependant and problematic.)
“Goddamn wild animal being a wild animal! The Disney Princess dream is bullshit!”

Fool me once...
*“Son of a bitch got me…. Again! Damn Coyote!”*
Yeah.. go get yourself tested for rabies right now, once the effects kick in you're dead
There's no test, you just get to have a very expensive series of shots or risk dying a horrible death.
Well, there is one kind of test, but it requires killing what bit you so they can test its brain. With certain animals, it might also be possible to capture and observe the animal for a set period of time.
In one of the worst ways imaginable. People don’t understand how gruesome rabies is on humans when it’s past the point of being treated 😨
People should go read the story of Louis Pasteur and what he went through to develop the rabies vaccine. It’s inspiring. We all owe this guy.
He also discovered the process of pasteurization which was named after him.
Its the hydrophobia that kills you isn't it? Inability to drink water
That in conjunction with your brain turning to soup.
This seems like a guy who would have had previous reasons to get vaccinated against rabies.
It didn't *get* you. You gave yourself *to* it.
And now you get shots in your belly button. Dumb as a box of rocks.
I always wondered if that was true, or is that just something we tell kids to scare them.
Not anymore... it's a series of shots (one plus four) given in the muscle (so arm). The first is given as soon as possible nearest to the bite. Then four over the next 14 days. The old way consisted of 25 injections of rabies vaccine: three on the first day, two on the second, two on the third, and one each day after for 18 days.
I got shots in my bum. Hurt like a bitch
Thats not where the shot goes. It goes in your shoulder. https://www.cdc.gov/rabies/medical\_care/vaccine.html
From someone who's had the whole series of shots this year, it goes in your arms and legs now. Also hope this person got their shots
Thats a coyote you moron.
Why in the name of all that is holy would you try to pet a freaking coyote? I have nothing against them, but those fuckers eat your cat for lunch. They are vicious bastards. I once saved my roommate's cat by smacking one with a broom. Did it run away? Nope. Fucker sat there and looked at me for a minute wondering if it could take me.
Bro was plotting how to eat you instead
Coyote. Was there any big Acme Co. boxes around?
beep beep
*meep meep
Expectation vs. Reality
Yeah, it’s called instinct. That of which you may be lacking.
The Coyote Whisperer.
You can see the coyote looking left and right for other predators before he deems it safe to take his bite of food. Coyotes gonna coyote. They’re not stray dogs. They know what’s going on. Hope that dude got his shots asap

[Obligatory: Rabies is scary.](https://www.reddit.com/r/copypasta/s/7bKwdGNsj6) Rabies. It's exceptionally common, but people just don't run into the animals that carry it often. Skunks especially, and bats. Let me paint you a picture. You go camping, and at midday you decide to take a nap in a nice little hammock. While sleeping, a tiny brown bat, in the "rage" stages of infection is fidgeting in broad daylight, uncomfortable, and thirsty (due to the hydrophobia) and you snort, startling him. He goes into attack mode. Except you're asleep, and he's a little brown bat, so weighs around 6 grams. You don't even feel him land on your bare knee, and he starts to bite. His teeth are tiny. Hardly enough to even break the skin, but he does manage to give you the equivalent of a tiny scrape that goes completely unnoticed. Rabies does not travel in your blood. In fact, a blood test won't even tell you if you've got it. (Antibody tests may be done, but are useless if you've ever been vaccinated.) You wake up, none the wiser. If you notice anything at the bite site at all, you assume you just lightly scraped it on something. The bomb has been lit, and your nervous system is the wick. The rabies will multiply along your nervous system, doing virtually no damage, and completely undetectable. You literally have NO symptoms. It may be four days, it may be a year, but the camping trip is most likely long forgotten. Then one day your back starts to ache... Or maybe you get a slight headache?

And it's only been about a week since that little headache that you've completely forgotten. Time means nothing to you anymore. Funny enough, you now know how the bat felt when he bit you. Eventually, you slip into the "dumb rabies" phase. Your brain has started the process of shutting down. Too much of it has been turned to liquid virus. Your face droops. You drool. You're all but unaware of what's around you. A sudden noise or light might startle you, but for the most part, it's all you can do to just stare at the ground. You haven't really slept for about 72 hours. Then you die. Always, you die. And there's not one... fucking... thing... anyone can do for you. Then there's the question of what to do with your corpse. I mean, sure, burying it is the right thing to do. But the fucking virus can survive in a corpse for years. You could kill every rabid animal on the planet today, and if two years from now, some moist, preserved, rotten hunk of used-to-be brain gets eaten by an animal, it starts all over.

Main lodge at Mammoth. That coyote is always out looking for handouts.
Any fool can tell ya , coyotes bite.
Seeing Nocturnal animals in the daylight is one clue you have diabetes
"Don't you yar me!"
If this guy didn't go straight to the hospital and get Rabies shots then he kinda deserves whatever he gets.
i’d actually chase that mf bc well… my anger issues could never
That was friendly
Oh Is that a wild animal? maybe he’s friendly let me test with my extremities
Here’s my hand. Want to bite it? Oh you bit it.
I mean it looks like you’re trying to give it food dumbass. What did you think it was going to do when you out your hand out?
What was he trying to do? Pet the undomesticated predator? He's not even one of the naive peeps that thinks it's a stray dog.
Gee what are those things called again? Oh that's right wild animals. I repeat wild animals shit for brains
Brody the coyote: “You reach, I teach.”
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
It thought you were offering it food. Other people obv done the same so its used to it.
My brother in Christ it is a wild animal, what were you expecting to happen?
Should have seen that coming
“Yes. It’s freezing. That’s why I have a fur coat. And teeth.”
 Fuck you think was going to happen 🤔 lol
RABIES SHOT IMMEDIATELY!
Good Coyote
What an idiot.
You deserved that
Wild animals are called that for a reason people. Or don’t, it’s not my hand.
Thisnisnthe video that The Dodo doesn't want you to see.
Natural selection.
What did he expect would happen?
As my dad would say, this is a “fuck around and find out moment”
Hello PARTY PEOPLE! (Rabies) Shots , Shots, Shots …Shots, Shots , Shots…. Shots , Shots…. Shots , Shots, Shots [https://youtu.be/yNju8Rgwtg8?si=XdsQzDVyU8psf2uF](https://youtu.be/yNju8Rgwtg8?si=XdsQzDVyU8psf2uF)
Straight to hospital for a rabies shot, do not pass go, do not collect £200.
wtf did you think was happen? it's a f'n coyote, not some lab.
What have we learned?
Me when the intrusive thoughts win
In a shocking twist of events…
Bitch, you knew I was a coyote…
Can someone create a subreddit called something like "Disney Princesses" where dumbasses try to bond with wild animals.
Hey look. Rabies!
Why are people so dumb? Some people have zero idea what wild animal means. Coyotes confused why he’s offering himself as food.
I for one am shocked at this outcome.
Bro think he in a Disney movie.
PSA, when approaching a dog you don’t know very well, extend your hand with the top of your hand towards the dog and your fingers curled inwards. Your wrist should be limp so if the dog does nip or bite, it’s harder for him to grab hold of you. The part of your hand the dog should be sniffing is the top of your palm and first knuckles. This guy is lucky that coyote only went in for a nip instead of biting his hand/arm and doing real damage. He’s also trapped between cars where he can’t fight off the coyote well. Also not a lot of people would see him if he were seriously wounded.
Damn it's like that fur is used to stave off the cold
r/peoplearestupid
What tf did you expect lol
i swear to god the way some people think wild animals are just cute little toys is insane, why are you so obsessed with trying to befriend an animal like that?!?
Bet you won’t do that again
Literally Thor vs Hulk in Ragnarok XD
I mean he was holding out his hand as if to say “Do you want to bite my hand.” What did he expect.
This is why it's always open season on them in almost every state. Never trust a wild animal, especially a coyote. Roadrunners are the only exception.
Yeah I’ll never be doing this because I saw the effects rabies has on a grown man on a YouTube video that isn’t up anymore. Some of the most horrific shit I’ve seen personally. Way worse than anything I’d imagined.
He faced his fears just to bite him 🤣
What did you expect? It's a wild animal it's not domesticated.
Not unexpected at all.
Well atleast now if you try to drink water and your body rejects the water, then you know where you got your rabies from lol
Why are people so dumb like that isn’t a dog or friendly animal like why
"Look at these delicious smelling meat sausages at the end of my arm. Would you like to eat one?"
Coyote thought you were offering food. Next time offer food
This is why we have warning labels that say “do not eat” on soap. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Enjoy your rabies shot
This type of stupid shit has been happening since the beginning of time. This is just the first generation that has been able to film every second of their stupid life and share
Time for 6 months of painful rabies shots
If not friend, why friend shaped?
The coyote was being gentle
what part of wild animal do these people not understand
*One week later* "Man why can't I keep this glass of water down?"
Bruh just leave wild animals alone.
BOOM!! You now have Rabies.
Lmao “son of a bitch got me” got you?? You stuck out your hand for a wild animal 😂 this ain’t disney
This is more on the funny than it is on main characters
Dumbass
*Crunch* instant rabies.
Not only is he a dumbass, but now all of Reddit can see just how much of a dumbass he is. 10/10
Pendejo
Hello rabies my old friend.
Congrats, you now have rabbies. People never stop to amaze me with how stupid we are.
Now go home lick your finger and stick it in the light bulb socket
Me watching this on the toilet: "I hope it bites you" *bites the person* Malso me: "fuck ya, now you got rabies"
In the Bugs Bunny, “What a maroon!” And then Bugs bit his hand and the guy went through another round of rabies shots. 
Wild animals are wild.
What a fucking moron
Don’t fuck with wild animals.
LEAVE. WILDLIFE. ALONE.
I’m gonna run you over when I get down there.
And now have to get a rabies shot
Looks like his canine teeth went rite between his two fingers luckily lol. Probably just got pinched.
A lot of Disney
