We went along to watch a farmer, his young son and their cattle herd being presented with an anti-leopard pen last week*. The farmer was thrilled, but the calves weren't too keen.
Alesa, Dedene and Mrs Fly - resistance to cages and not being able to run away - completely understandable, we did tell them it was for their own good.
xl - better go and watch that film again.
Will - I hear they'll be trying out a pink version next.

An anti-leopard pen, blimey, that puts the anti-fox chicken coops we get around here rather in the shade.
ReplyDeleteI could do with a cage like that for a couple of my patients
ReplyDeleteIf I didn't know about the leopards, I rather not be put in a cage either. : p
ReplyDeleteThe drawings remind me of the water buffalo sacrifice scene in Apocalypse Now. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteWere the cages painted nice colors? That might make a difference.
ReplyDeleteI can see why the goats didn't want to go into the cages, but they should appreciate being protected.
ReplyDeleteYou're having quite an adventure.
Did it have a chandelier? :¬)

Leopards are easily spotted, but a calf cage is a good idea too.
ReplyDeleteInteresting post.
Have a nice day, Boonsong
Calves probably feel more vulnerable if they can't run away.
ReplyDeleteEryl - All pens should be kept in the shade
ReplyDeleteNursey - sending one over..
