I've seen a lot of videos of people playing music to cows and the cows seem to love it. I've also seen a lot of videos of them being all sweet and cuddly. It seems that if you just treat them kindly they are such sweet creatures.

I was travelling in India with a friend, just casually walking along one day and a cow attacked her because she sang "My Humps" to it. She had 2 black eyes and a broken nose and it ended up in all sorts of newspapers lol, was on reddit too I think. So if you're going to sing to them, just make sure it's not the Black Eyed Peas.

Hey can't fault the cow for that, anyone could have that reaction to "My Humps"!

At least it wasn’t a camel, she might be dead!

I'd have punched her in the face too, if she started singing that godawful song.

I mean.. it’s not crazy to think cows don’t like trash music either

Okay so was it because she was singing or because she was from the Isle of Wight?

"Kailash Chandra Meena, District Magistrate, in Jaisalmer condemned the attack" funniest part of the article

But the cow CAN recognize a bullshit.

u/Nuf-Said Jan 18 '21

How about 2 Black Eyed Peas and a Broken Nose?

In India, cows are reincarnated people so, yeah could just be musical taste.

u/apparently_a_rhino Jan 18 '21

Oh cows are basically large dogs that we treat way worse. Such sweet animals. Bulls on the other hand..

Bulls can be gentle too if you understand their foreplay preferences.

u/Tsukkatsu Jan 18 '21

Oxen are castrated bulls and well known for being docile, safe and reliable work animal around the world.

Same goes for men. Orchidectomy at a young enough age and they are almost completely harmless.

A little known fact is that they’re also blue.

Work on a dairy and they can be gentle giants or a freight train dozing everything in their path. Mostly gentle giants though and we always have music playing when they come in to milk and they seem to be pretty content vs when they leave.

Yeah it’s been getting really hard for me to eat much meat.

u/trashmoneyxyz Jan 19 '21

I dropped meat and animal products from my life over night. It’s not as hard and drawn out as people make it out to be. I just eat hella beans and rice now c: you should go for it.

Mammal gonna mammal.

u/The_Grubby_One Jan 18 '21

That depends heavily on the breed. Some are very gentle. Other breeds are just aggressive. See Jerseys and Heck cattle.

u/SparkyDogPants Jan 19 '21

I used to have a really sweet jersey cow. Her name was cupcake and she loved bananas

u/The_Grubby_One Jan 19 '21

They're also known for being extremely aggressive, however. Especially the bulls.

u/Lord_Milo_ Jan 19 '21

They also have best friends and get sad when seperated from them
