If you can’t hit a dingo on the nose hard enough to make it fuck off with a short length of PVC, you would likely end up hurting yourself trying to wield anything sharp and pointy.
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.
I think this is a response to the woman jogging that was nearly killed by 4 dingos. I doubt a PVC pipe would help against 4 dingos let alone one. An attacking dog is hard to fight off so I would imagine a dingo is no easier.
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.
But it’s such a bad weapon. A cardboard tube might be the only thing worse. A child with a fork can do more damage than PVC pipe.

True. I’m just saying, PVC pipe wouldn’t stop an angry house cat.

I get what you’re saying. I just don’t think a PVC pipe would make a difference.

Maybe you’re supposed to play it like a didgeridoo and scare them off that way.
Unless the difference is not harming the dingo.
Right. But, as I pointed out earlier, dingoes nearly killed a woman just yesterday. They might not be showing you the same courtesy.
