POLL: can 10 really ferocious dogs kill a lion/tiger?
lets take 10-12 really really big ferocious dogs(like alsatian,or other big ,wild dogs) ...what will happen if they figth with a lone tiger or a lion...
now if they figth with a young tiger ..there is no doubt that these 10 dogs will maul the young tiger..
but what if these guys square up against a fully grown one?? who will win?? ...will it be tough for the lion or tiger 2 win even if it does??

In assumption the lion or tiger could not get away, which it would try... the dogs will win as long as they are large, quick and want to fight. No lion or tiger could handle that many dogs. Half the dogs will likely die during or after the fight but they will win.
I agree with Leolupus! Anyone else who thinks otherwise is a moron. Tigers and Lions are really large and powerful! Now if the Tiger or Lion was weak and malnourished, then probably... But even then, the dogs would still get badly injured. I can't believe some idiots actually think a pack of dogs could take on a Tiger or Lion... The only way for it to be possible is if the dogs had a Human with them, and if the Human shot the Tiger or Lion in the head. Other than that, NOPE! The dogs are screwed! No matter how big or strong the dogs are. Tigers and Lions are just WAY too big and powerful for them.
Rhodesian Ridgebacks were actually bred to track, chase, and hold Lions until the hunters arrived for the kill. They were never expected (and likely never would) kill a Lion on their own. The breed's swiftness and agility (to stay out of a Lion's reach) were prized over any attack/kill capability.
This information comes from Ridgeback breeder friends.
However, given the sheer numbers, I'd expect that 10 dogs could overcome a Lion/Tiger. It would be ugly all the way around, though.
I think if anything the lion and Tiger would just break the dogs legs with just one swipe, they do that with hyenas and they are also vicious. But I would say the Lion or Tiger would rather run away than stay and fight 10 Trained pitbulls. But if the Lion and Tiger were cornered with no way out, then I think the Lion & Tiger would win overall.
That's a tough call. Full grown tigers and lions have brute strength on their behalf. However, if this were a pack of wild dogs, sometimes strategy and numbers can conquer mere strength.
I think there would be a strong chance for these ferocious dogs to overcome the tiger or lion. However, there would be casualties.
