Question of the Day - Saturday, November 9th, 2024

I'm trying to figure out why someone would have an animal they were scared of? Life is too short to be scared of an animal that depends on you to survive

 

[notabitail]

No.

We've had a couple I had a healthy/wary respect for, but not a fear of. And it's because they were large animals (horses) that you needed to be careful with because of their size. They wouldn't deliberately hurt us, but they could cause a lot of damage on accident if you weren't careful.

 

[The Moonshiner]

Yes.
A 4 1/2' Nile Monitor that would gut you if given the chance.

Exactly! I've had a couple of really "hot" horses that might buck, rear, spook, or try to run, so I've had some scary moments in the saddle, and there was one (not mine) that I refused to ride.

My sister’s cat I’m not afraid of, but I certainly keep a safe distance from it!

 

[sourland]

No, but I have had animals that others were scared of. Rhon, my German Shepherd dog, never bit anyone, but he sure intimidated most who met him. His devotion to me and my family was unlimited. I'll never own another Shepherd. Losing him still hurts after 50 years.

 

[bill3607]

That would be no. But, some that I had to be very alert around at times.

 

[BigBlueHen53]

Not for long. That one rooster that hurt me ... he didn't live to see another dawn.

 

[5Australorpasaures]

No, why would I put myself on edge with a preventable problem.
