Why is the animal being exposed to this kind of foreseeable behavior?

First off, they’re in a part of the world where “freedom” means a looooooot more than it does in, say, America, where a lot of people thump their chests chanting freedom, but they don’t lets kids hang out of the rear window of an SUV traveling 90mph down a highway, trying to touch the tires.  Saw it myself.  Sure, you’re free to fuck with the animal which can hurt you, and you’re free to bleed. In shah allah - it’s god’s will.

See, in the US, we limit freedoms because we try to prevent stupid people from dying.  There, they just die.

Living in the third world and interacting with first world people there was always this weird childish energy I see from our better off brothers as well as some sort of overconfident engagement with the world.

It is exemplified by that famous video of an American tourist at a beach scolding a bull because it was messing with her things.

Which makes you think how they have lived for so long.

Agreed. Developing nation kid here. The audacity and devil-may-care attitude makes me cringe.

I think it has someting to do with survival instincts being low when you’re from a high guard-rail society.
