[QUOTE="Luca Brasi, post: 1303946, member: 23282"] A playful bovine will hurt you just as well as an aggressive one. The intent doesn't matter since the resulting injury to you or the wife will be the same. Animal shelters are full of dogs that are there because their owners didn't understand their basic behavior. Now we are seeing the same thing happening with cattle. Good animals getting shipped that don't need to. Not really my business since it's not my farm, my time or my money, but I just hate preventable waste and it's a damn shame. For amusement I sometimes follow some of the backyard farmer type forums watching for disasters in the making by some of these people, because you usually can't tell them otherwise. Any bovine who bounces in close proximity to a human, regardless of the reason or who or what it was directed at needs to have an immediate come to jesus meeting, your fault, my fault, nobody's fault. Anyone who would run the other way rather than run full force at the animal with a 2X4 or other implement of intended destruction has no business being in the same enclosure with anything bigger than a chicken. Um, IMO. [/QUOTE]
