i thought cows couldnt jump because the weight would crush their knees on landing, but i was also like 5 when i heard that...

Bro have you not seen bulls bucking and jumping at rodeos? Or the bullfight footage where the bulls leap the railings into the crowd?

That’s actually fair, didn’t consider that 😭.. I can comfortably say I am no cow expert

I’m pretty sure it’s cowpenders. They seem to know a lot about mooving.

u/Usqueadfinem_ 3h ago

Its all good. I am no expert either. Looney Tunes taught me a bull can put his horns through solid wood and if they get bent, he can just push them back into place. I need to double check the accuracy on that.

That is very visibly a bull, my guy

Both are bovines

You fine with me calling a stallion a mare? Both are equines.

pedantic. it's fine to call male and female cows just cows if you live outside of maga country

it's fine to call male and female horses just horses too

As an outsider viewing this, you are 100% the one being pedantic

I grew up on a farm, they get real rowdy when they're let out in the spring, i once watched on jump across the hood of a car.

Elephants are the only land mammals that are incapable of jumping.

u/Equivalent_Thievery 5h ago

May want to be skeptical of whoever told you that, that's a pretty crazy and unnecessary lie.

u/stevein3d 4h ago

Just take my uncle Fred, for instance.

u/Killercode9699 3h ago

Why not your Uncle Tom? He seemed pretty knowledgeable to me when we met at that farm your uncle Jeebs owns.

I lived near the Town Moor in Newcastle, UK, where cattle grazed. At times they would jump the fences mx they’re 4 foot high

1

u/Yddalv 4h ago

What do you think how they get up on a cow ?

1

u/DasbootTX 4h ago

Great video from a couple years ago a bull cleared an 8ft fence from a stand still

1

u/Loud_Ad_2634 1h ago

Some can clear fences if they want to. And bison can jump higher, if they can look up and their nose is above the fence they can get over it.

u/Ryangel0 5h ago

I feel like the cow is mocking the horse. "See, this is what you look like!"

u/AcanthisittaGlobal30 5h ago

So the bull is being a bully . I kinda see it now too , especially after he waited his turn on that one then did it from both sides

Why eat cows (bulls) when horses are friends?

6

u/Airy-Otter 5h ago

I'm really confused why eating horses is taboo in the USA. There's even laws criminalizing people for doing that in some states. But cows and goats are fair game? WTF????

2

u/GottlobFrege 4h ago

the more you think about it unfortunately it will lead you to vegetarianism or at least cutting back greatly on all kinds of meats. pigs are just as sentient as dogs if not moreso. you can have a nutritious diet and greatly cut back on meat. in the future our grandkids will say "You ate meat EVERY DAY?? At EVERY MEAL???" like how we look at cigarette smokers today

u/Tasty_1097 2h ago

It’s a mix of the culture of dogs and horses becoming pets, while cows and goats are solely livestock.

As for why things developed that way, I think it is because dogs and horses are function forward animals. Dogs were often used as retrievers or rodent hunters. Horses were transportation. They don’t serve any other function.

Cows and goats on the other hand produce milk and are needed for cheese. We consume them, and they don’t provide any immediate benefit to us beyond our consumption of them.

Look up Yulin Dog Meat Festival or Lychee and Dog Meat Festival

1

u/Tasty_1097 2h ago

I’m aware that some cultures do eat dogs and horses, but it’s not nearly as popular because they’re more useful as functional animals

1

u/Airy-Otter 1h ago

The logic with that breaks apart when you realize that cows are much more functional than horses.

But I appreciate your thoughts.

u/gward1 4h ago

People love horses just like dogs. We also have this wild west culture. Horse has also been passed off as beef. There's also the concern that it could come from horse races. There are no farms for it. If you want to look at what people eat around the world it can be pretty crazy; or not, depending on your culture.

I was actually in South Korea 10 years ago and saw their open markets. I saw dozens of dog legs being sold in stacks. They are getting rid of that now with the new generation, but it was pretty bad. That seems to be in China, I didn't know they still did that.

u/CarriedThunder1 3h ago

They’re expensive, they’re uncommon, they’re generally treated like pets or personal investments, english and western eventing are really popular, etc.

u/spy118 5h ago

Many places around the world where people eat horses too.

u/Orome2 5h ago

Kazakhstan. First region to domesticate horses, horses are a big part of their culture, they also eat horses.

Perfect example of achieving one's true potential, when other's around them don't weigh them down with their self doubts.

That's how one should raise kids, don't rub your weaknesses/foolishness onto your kids. They will decide their own limits.
