But who collects from the collection agency?
This guy:
Yeah, that's a Hyena.
No, it's not fake.
Yeah, it'll eat your face.
All those guys you know who are so tough? They got nothing.
If there's a toughness scale, our friends in Nigeria just set a new bar.
As an aside - In Europe, Rugby players make fun of American Football players because they wear pads and helmets. Americans can go on and on about how hard they hit and about how big our NFL players are, and Rugby players still scoff, because no matter how big the guys are, they're still wearing pads. Rugby players make American Football players look like the guy who plays flute in the marching band. Throw in the fact that pro-Rugby players aren't paid rediculous salaries, and that many of them are full time doctors and lawyers in addition to professional athletes, and it makes you wonder where our sports culture went wrong.
These dudes redefine badass. Do you see a muzzle on that Hyena? No.
Am I saying that the Hyena handlers are smart or to be admired? No, they're probably jerks to the animals, and I'm sure that most of them are missing fingers.

I don't buy the "Rugby players are tougher than american football players because they don't wear pads" notion.
You may have an argument that they are tougher, but not for that reason alone.
As it stands, In American Football, guys who could be as big as 350 pounds hurl themsleves at each other with tremendous force. Running Backs and QBs are ducks who will be hit by 250 pound heat seeking missiles if they hold onto the ball too long.
Nothing even close to that exists in Rugby where everyone is the same size and usually 200 pounds or less.
