General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: A GOPer in my state opposes gun storage because you might have to shoot a cow. [View all]My grandparents lived in a rural area. The only time I can remember cattle being anything but docile was if someone went out of their way to rile up one of them, made a threatening move to a calf around Mama, or let a cow get too close to a bull.
My daft brother learned that the hard way when he and his equally stupid friends started throwing rocks at a neighbour's bull. I told them to knock that off--that old boy wasn't bothering them, but if they bothered him enough, he'd show them a thing or two.
They got a quick lesson in how strong and fast a mad bull can be if you plonk his sac. By that time, I was on the rise overlooking the paddock, and it was like a furry tank going after those boys. Shattered the wood fence to go after them. I don't know how they avoided the horns, but they somehow did.
Was it awful of me that I laughed at the tables turning on my prat of a brother?
