I am the lover of all animals, great and small, particularly the tasty ones ... but, cows are very dumb. When they get spooked, which they do quite often, there is hardly a fence in the land that will hold them. I have goats that get out less often than any of my rancher friends that raise cows, and goats are known as the Hoodinis of the barnyard. They don't really return affection in any detectable way, with the exception of running plumb over you if you are delivering food. That tends to hurt. :)

I always, from the 5th grade when we read Charlotte's Web, wanted a pig for a pet, UNTIL I saw what they can do to the yard with the incessant rooting up the lawn. That pretty much cured me of that little dream.

I was once cornered in a pen by a blind cow. I cannot think of a more dangerous situation other than Obama being reelected.

As for the pigs, they view everything as food. If they can get you down to the level of their snout and keep you there, they WILL eat you.

The chickens are just scavengers and cannibals. You should see what happens when you toss a chicken egg into the air in a chicken pen. They try to kill each other to get to that broken egg.

They all need to be eaten if for no other reason than to keep them from evolving into something we cannot defend against.
