Man punches Kangaroo to save dog

[Sage Ninja]

This man is has outraged animal rights activates by punching a kangaroo in the face in the wild when it got his dog in a head headlock. Here is the original video:



and here is the news report on the incident:



I don't know. I think the last thing I would have done was punch a wild animal that is nearly as tall as me in the face. The kangaroo had already let go of the dog. Though it is clear to me that if the man had not intervened the kangaroo would have harmed the dog, was the punch necessary after kangaroo let go of the dog? The kangaroo turned his attention to the man and looked like it was about to throw down with him. But the outrage of what he did seems...a bit much. He punched the kangaroo he did not murder or seriously harm it.
