Factory farming has made us think of chickens as mindless automata. But our downy friends know much more than we give them credit for.

    Cows aren’t stupid (by animal standards). Just slow. Calves are like puppies.

      I’ve never owned cows, childhood experience taught me that they are pretty dumb, in the sense that they are slow to react on both ends, as in they won’t react to something fast enough, but when they react they are even slower to stop doing shit, especially when stressed. My friend and I had once to stop a calf from strangling itself after she tangled herself in a rope, another time I’ve seen them try to attack a truck after it moved on and they psyched each other for like ten minutes after the fact (good times, lol).
