That theory goes out the window when you have a city sliker meet a farm animal in person. One of my favorite childhood pass times was seeing city blokes cower in fear of petting a chicken or goat especially when that same person has pictures of chickens in their home because they are cute
The goat I understand. Those fuckers are mean, and they bite. Who TF is afraid of a chicken? Turkey, sure. Again, they are mean and big enough to fight back. The chickens found out that they “can” become soccer balls if they piss off the ape that is bringing them food.
Far to many people that have no experience with animals give them human thoughts and competency.
Anthropomorphism.
That’s a mouth full.
Sometimes it seems we are too evolved for our own good but I like to think this tendency of ours will lead to a greater good.

Have you not met any chickens? They can be downright NASTY. And a lot of people don’t have it in them to kick a chicken.
Yeah. A wise person checks their footing before kicking a chicken.
You’d be surprised by how many blokes are afraid of the adorable little balls of feathers that are always running away from them
