Would you rather have all dogs try to attack you when they see you or all birds try to attack you when they see you?

My choice is birds because most of the time they do way less damage. What would you choose and why?

Dogs. My death would come quicker.

That's an interesting take but it depends because most dogs only grab the area they can reach and concentrate on that portion. Only a few dogs would ever really try to go for your jugular.

The femoral artery in the leg is just as fatal as the jugular. And the leg is a popular attack point.

So true in this matter, and why I'm saying this as I have been attacked by birds and you think they are harmless but in fact they are worse then dogs. They can eat your eyes out and be death for life. When it's there feeding and breeding seasons they try and protect there little ones and if you get to near, BANG they fly over you like a spitfire. they got so close to me that I had to run and duck many times.

Every year I was getting attack from walking to and from school and have no choice yo walk the same way.

My conure will attack anyone who tries to handle her except me. If you're not me she will tear you up. Her beak is sharp enough to tear a chunk of skin off, trust me. I used to have a macaw, and he would bite as well. His bite was a more crushing bite than a sharp tearing one. If he decided he wanted to, he could easily take off a finger. He tore me open several times, and could have crushed the bone. He had a hell of a powerful bite.

Prior to getting them, I was scared to death of birds. My grandmother had chickens and geese. The rooster and geese were mean as hell and would try to attack me as a toddler every time I was outside, all the way up until she got rid of them after I was in like second grade or so. Due to that, I was terrified of birds for a long time. Now, however, I'm not. Apple(conure) and Dante(macaw) got me over that fear.

Roosters and Geese are very unpredictable in nature - I can agree that much especially geese. Nobody knows what may trigger a geese to attack  but they are quite aggressive and will attack almost any animal.

On another note, I found this hilarious video of roosters destroying a chicken hawk:

Horses are pretty docile animals for the most part unless you go out of your way to provoke them so I definitely blame the horse.

I grew up raising Belgians, so I can definitely attest to them being docile as hell.

I once encountered some wild horses in Arizona as a kid and all they did was follow me around for food and wanted me to constantly pet them. I mean I did see two of them fighting nearby but that's typical with animals.
