Cows are such lovely and creatures, and also if you approach them with ease and dont scare them - very friendly as well.

Too friendly sometimes. I've had to punch a cow for trying to push me in a pond for the lolz. As in the cow was doing it for the lolz.

Also, punching a cow hurts because those damn skulls are hard.

Also, punching a cow seems to amuse them.

Also, it will not prevent them from trying to push you in a pond again.

Also, carry a brush if you're fishing at a farm pond. Or, really, doing anything in a cow's space. Because that will make them super friendly.

Also, brushing cows can make them too friendly, to the point that will bump you around trying to get brushed until you almost get pushed into the pond

Point is, cows are fuckers.

What do you have against ponds?

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 9 points 18 hours ago

Only being pushed into them by a lolcow

Grass puppies.

My only wish when I die is that my body is hamburgered, fried and covered in cheese for someone or something to enjoy.

They generally don't die tho, they get killed at a very young age

It's super depressing what lives the majority live under human slavery.

I dont see how our jobs are related to this post

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 17 hours ago

huh? talking about farming and human supremacy against other animals, and the slavery, mass murder, rape and exploitation humans inflict on them.

This is only true if you're not trying to get them to do anything specific or cooperate with you....then they're colossal assholes.

And to think that they were bred from aurochs, which were bigger, faster, and meaner. Which is saying something, as modern cattle are still pretty massive animals!

Most of the time if I am around any cows, like working near a pasture or something, I'll come up to the fence and a few will come over to investigate, but still stand like 10 feet away from the fence so I can't pet them :(

If I were really rich, I would want a menagerie with some friendly cows in it.

I scrolled by and read this as "crows" not cows. Either way I agree.
