Would you rather be attacked by an equal mass of dogs or rats?

Depends on the mass: if it's under 50 kilos, one or a few dogs would probably be easier to fight off than a swarm of rats. More than that, and it's a swarm either way, so I'll take the rats, which would be easier to stomp.

Dogs, definatly! have you ever seen "El Norte?" *shiver* *cringe*. Rat assaults are damn scarry.

I think I could survive the rats little mouths more easily. Also, emotionally it would bother me more to be attacked by doggies.

I'd pick Dogs, and hope for collies.

Dogs can done the work fast...

about 1 ng will do nicely thankyou

Dogs are easier to overcome and keep an eye on. 3 dogs I could beat easy. 30 rats would eventually get wear me down.

Depending in what kind of dogs. If they're the cute little ones that look like rats then...

*shudder*

I absolutely hate with a passion rats, but people dogs could do so much more damage. Look at the teeth.

Rats' necks are easier to break.

In all but the most extreme cases a mass of dogs represents fewer individuals than an equal mass of rats. I take the option that presents me with the fewest sets of teeth to defend against.

You would die faster by dogs...I would not want to live with the memory of either experience

Dogs would be easier to hit back. Rats' diseases are closer to human diseases. This is a gross question. I think am going to kill myself just to prevent this from ever happening to me. You are sick.

Yuck.. why such a question.. But I think I would prefer rats..cause I could probably try and run away. And I can step on as many as I can and (this may be gross) but I would break their necks and kill them.

I think it'd be easier to deal with one dog than 30 rats.

geez!! this is a hard one to answer!!! i just happen to like mice so i think rats would be better

fast death for me...

I would rather wake up and find it was a bad dream.

I think I could whup a ten pound dog's little furry ass, but I'd be lost against 20 8oz rats simultaniously attacking me. And while a fifty pound dog might get a limb off me before I could even bite it back, fifty giant 1lb rats would probably mutilate me beyond recognition. If I won the fight easy, I'd rather sit back and enjoy a nice, plump, roasted dog-thigh, than try to gnaw the meat off the little gamey critters.

dogs would be quicker. weth, this question is great

Now that would depend on the intent of the animal. :) I like both dogs and rats, but I think one 50kg dog is easier to deal with than 25 2kg rats.

SSSSSSSSSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!! Dogs

An equal mass of dogs at any rate has fewer mouths and less to kill before you can be free.

larger jaws.. It would be a quicker death..

At first, I decided upon the rats, but now it is dogs. I would rather be attacked by an equal mass of chihuahuas.

Rats. Smaller teeth, and easier to kill/disable. My answer would be dogs if the mass was equal to one dog (or less).
**BenevolentMagus: And this would be different from rats how?

if it goes by mass there is less teeth with a dog because there are less of them. May I ask where this odd question orginates from?

Whichever involves the fewest individuals; boy do I hope that's dogs (if not, I'd rather be attacked by either than drink the water).

Think of the number of teeth

Neither.

If it was a deadly attack, I'll go for dogs. I'd probably die faster.
