ol art bell (remember him?) had a program on his nightly talk show about animals going wild, and attacking humans, etc.
he made it sound like the animals were defending their territory or some such? they were going on the attack!
his guest, can't remember who exactly, was making it seem that the animals were fighting back.
maybe they were using the movie about the birds as the base=line example. i don't know.
around here we have foxes and raccoons that regularly attack dogs in the area.
and snakes, too. my god, the copper heads bites dogs over and over.
