Okay, I'm learning something. Thanks for the explanation. But believe me, I am anything but mean. Everyone who knows me say that perhaps I am too caring....for animals AND humans.
Cows are strictly vegetarians but the last thing you would want to do is come face to face with a Longhorn bull or a longhorn cow with calf ouy on the range. As a matter of fact if a Longhorn Bull and a bear got into a fight, my money would be on the bull.
I don't think you are mean. I feel sorry for these people, but I also understand the greater point you are trying to make. Certain humans expect animals not to act like animals - "The shark just came up and bit me!" (like that is totally against a shark's nature), or, "I told the bear to stop."
By the way, a couple of years ago there was a thread on here about a bear cub that was pelted with rocks by tourists in the Smokies - it was trying to attack a deer, and the humans just wouldn't have that.
