Debate: Cats are better than dogs.

[Peeki]

Well taking into account size and strength, 1:1 fight goes to the tiger. and that's what i'm concerned about.

[Stardust]

Shut up Nocturne. Cats are better.

[Nocturne]

1 on 1 yes, but that situation would never happen, even if wolves and tigers lived near each other.

[Stardust]

Listen, wolves and tigers or lions don't live anywhere near each other, so the only time you'll ever see them in a fight, is if they somehow escape their cages at the zoo.

[Peeki]

Well Nocturne we're comparing cats and dogs. And so I'm stating a situation where the relative meaning makes sense. And then the outcome of this situation based on logical facts.

So big cats > big dogs.
Domestic cats < domestic dogs.

[The Editor]

Wolves are better than cats, cats are better than dogs.

Assuming that tigers would have the capability and will to work together, they were in the same general area as a pack of wolves, and these two lived remotely close, then yes, tigers would likely win. In a one on one situation, a tiger would win. However, going on the idea that they would live in the same region, as they live their normal lives, and a pack of wolves came across a tiger, the pack would win and slaughter the tiger's babies.

[The Editor]

Does it even matter which wins in a fight? This is about which is the better pet.

[Peeki]

Shut up Editor.

And Nocturne, if we're going to compare two individuals, shouldn't we just make it 1:1 ratio?

[Peeki]

YES IT DOES MATTER, ED, IT DOES MATTER.

[The Editor]

Why?

[Peeki]

Because I said so.


Or


Because weighing battle-based statistics is cool.

[The Editor]

You're an idiot.

[Peeki]

You suck my Golden Pharaonic Wadjet

[Chrizz]

o.O;;

PEEKI!

[Peeki]

Do YOU want to suck my golden pharaonic wadjet too?

[The Editor]

No chance, matey.

[Chrizz]

NAWWWWWWW

[Platinum Rayquaza]

I have a dog that is exactly like a cat! weird... he does all the things a cat does

[Nocturne]

Shut up Editor.

And Nocturne, if we're going to compare two individuals, shouldn't we just make it 1:1 ratio?

If both hunted as individuals then yes. But that is not the case.

I used to love watching that Animal Face-Off show. That was the shit.

[Nidogod]

Again, there are variables. Tigers can be kept together in zoos and animal sanctuaries. Supposing some nutjob released a pack of say, 10 adult wolves into an enclosure built for 3 adult tigers who were pretty close knit, siblings perhaps, the tigers would look out for their own and fight together. I doubt the wolves would try anything against more than one. Wolves generally attack the rear end of an animal while one distracts the front.

[Teresa]

If were talking about cooperation in a fight, why put in the solitary tiger? A pride of lions would own a pack of wolves any day.

And Nidogod brings up a pretty good point. Sometimes a group of siblings will stay together for years after they've left their mother, and work together to hunt and defend themselves. It doesn't happen often, but it happens, and a group like that would without a doubt be superior to a pack of wolves.

[Nocturne]

Lions live in prides, but don't hunt in prides. Usually a duo or trio of lionesses go out and hunt, and sometimes they're solitary hunters for the pride.

[Peeki]

Then using that logic, let's put a group of lionesses against a group of wolves. They do have the upperhand there

[Nidogod]

Male Lions are kicked out of the pride at about age 3. They sPend the next year or two with their brothers or friends not only hunting for themselves but learning how to fight everything from hyenas to other lion brotherhoods. Plus, being social animals, they can afford to be more reckless in a fight since they'll have somebody to look after them while they heal from war wounds. This is what makes lions the superior brawlers of the cat family.
