    They're cows man this is what they do. They walk up to anything in their fields and stare at them from like 5-10m away and shit themselves at any sudden movements. They will do literally nothing else.

    God what a weird guy. THEY'RE COWS DOING COW THINGS.

      watching this video only made the reaction of the man in the video I posted look even more ridiculous, lol. cows really are just curious creatures, I'm not sure why someone would think that a swarm of cows would approach you because they want to collectively kill you or beat the shit out of you or something

        I understand not being too comfortable with being swarmed by cows. You could get trip and get smashed bad, that is too many cows for one dude alone in the woods, but I'd be more concerned about the danger a well meaning crowd of 1000lb bovine could be in an accident than think they'd actively try to harm me. They're fucking cows. Bred by us for thousands of years to be easier to kill, they're notably docile animals. I wouldn't not be scared, but dude is going a bit far here. For sure retreat and keep talking, but there's no need to be afraid.

          yeah you're right, it's reasonable to feel anxious and want to move away from them in case of an accident, the response of him recording himself screaming and spraying mace at them as if he was about to capture his death on film though is just a bit silly

            Yeah, also if you're filming, I'm not super convinced you're fr scared. Back away, keep talking and the stating close to trees just in case are all fair play, the rest is extra as hell.
