    OK, but chickens are assholes who refuse to let me pet them.

    Every cow I’ve met has been affectionate towards even random strangers.

      We had chickens and pigs when I was a kid

      I had a favourite chicken, which I would pick up, pet and carry around
      Chicken was happy, little me was happy

        If the children are biting you when you attempt to pet them, skill issue.

      My neighbors both have chickens that love being picked up and petted. Depends on the breed.

      Also ocelots don’t like to be petted, do we need to build ocelot murder factories now to kill a few billion a year as revenge?
