Oh my ! What a fun sounding holiday you are having ! 😲
ha ha..... um.... no....
When I was a child, (maybe 8'ish, I really can't remember) one of my first best friend's family had a farm. They would frequently ask me to come along if I wanted when they would go out to feed the cows and the such. One day we were in one of the fields doing something... I have no idea what now and their bull Rocky made a lunge at me. I'm sure he knew all the others well, but I was a bit of a stranger, the gullible one. As he lunged, I certainly did the natural thing, I ran and all behind me I heard them screaming DON'T RUN, DON'T RUN !!...as he chased me to the fence that I barely got under before he slide to a halt on the other side. I realize their theory and all that, but for real ! If a bull is chasing you, how do you stop running ???!! I wasn't ready to die.... and it seems I was a bit lucky that the fence was no further away than it was.
I have often wondered about that too. I mean, I am with you on that, you can't stop. Are you meant to just stand there? You can't lie down and play dead you will get stomped!!
I didn't see a farm until I was in a twenties. It might have made me a little un-savvy around big creatures, lol!
I'm sure they meant well....LOL.... and I'm sure they knew when he bluffed, if you didn't run, he wouldn't do anything and maybe if I'd have known in advance, I could have done differently, but I didn't, so I did.
Yeah, play it safe. If in doubt, flee!!
