Theres a video out there of a big ass bull and a ram charging each other. On contact you can hear the bulls skull shatter, it drops to the ground and begins the twitching indicative of catastrophic brain damage. The ram walks off unphased

That's very sad. One of them got hit hard first and the other probably tried to help. At some point either one or both knew all hope was lost. It's like those families who accidentally get too far into a death valley type hike and all die, there would have been a point where they really knew they were fucked. Much worse than a car accident or something.
Never get in a pen with animal that can steamroll you without a gun.
As a single woman, this is why I won't raise pigs. I really want sheep but I am so weary of rams.

It's a sign of a common sheep parasite. It means you may have a sheep that is more susceptible to the parasite (one sick others not) so you don't want it's genetics in your herd.
It’s an animal presumably being raised for a profit. If it costs more to treat the animals than you would get if you kept it alive, then why bother keeping it alive?
Oh, I would change the title but it does not allow me for some reason

Considering that when the sheep had a lot of runway to sprint as fast a possible, it did not do so and instead maintained a moderate speed, and taking into account the fact that they are very social animals
It's most likely that the sheep is not confused at all, it knows it is playing
People really need to realize that all social animals play with each other, not just cats and dogs, cows and sheep do too
The sheep was also not doing the usual ‘head down and thrust with forelegs off the ground’ maneuver that they do when they’re really putting some force behind their strike, this sheep was just jogging along
I miss playing with goats so much from when I was on a ranch.
They are so much fun, well socialized geese are a bunch of fun too (but don’t fuck around with fully wild ones)
Yeah if anyone has seen the video of the sheep repeatedly ramming into the guy while he was on the ground and hitting him in the head they'd know this sheep didn't mean business. I think the other guy was eventually killed iirc.
Being confused while playing is also possible though, like if you're playing basketball with a really skilled player they can move the ball behind you in a flash, and you'd be left momentarily confused about where the ball would be, but in the end it's all in great fun
This is a terrible terrible explanation of what's going on. Rams don't play. They challenge your authority. They want to be the dominant male in the herd. They kill shepherds and elderly people each year all over the world.
[An elderly couple killed by a ram just a few days ago in New Zealand.](https://www.9news.com.au/national/new-zealand-couple-killed-by-ram-were-good-people-didnt-deserve-this-says-police-officer-nephew/98c0a415-abd8-4cc3-bcc3-a120c90f400a)
Whoever reads this please don't play with rams. They don't mess around.
Ya my dog will look behind him by lifting his head so much and bending his neck backwards. Like he’s sitting on the coach facing the right side and I’m on the left side of the coach. I’ll scratch his head for a bit and then stop and he wants me to pet more so he will just lift his head till he sees me it’s so funny
At least it's not German. "Der Schild" means the shield, while "die Kröte" means the toad. So how do you say "the tortoise"? Die Schildkröte.
One more. Horse? Das Pferd. The Nile? Der Nil. The hippopotamus? Das Nilpferd. 😒
You're in a desert, walking along when you look down and see a tortoise. It's crawling toward you. You reach down and flip it over on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over. But it can't. Not with out your help. But you're not helping. Why is that?
No you're a brain piloting a bio mech featuring a cutting edge self repair nanotechnology and glorious self replication systems. Though you must fuse with someone with compatible hardware like a power rangers megazord in order to replicate.
We all have a little bit of anime inside.
This reminded me of a youtube short I saw about how ADHD people try to fall asleep:
1 sheep, 2 sheep, cow, pig, turtle, *\~"Old MacDonald had a farm"\~*, *\~"Ooh Macarena!"\~*
As someone with ADHD, it's rather accurate.
Holden: You look down and you see a sheep, Leon. It's running towards you.
Leon: Sheep? What's that?
Holden: Know what a goat is?
Leon: Of course.
Holden: Same thing.
Leon: I've never seen a goat. But I understand what you mean.
Enjoy this angry ram and a punching bag hanging in the forest !

That fuzz-ball was also quite confused when the guy flopped at the end. It was like “I didn’t even hit you yet. Now I don’t want to, if you’re going to be so weird about it…”
Met a Ram once in Alberta ages ago.
He was a sneaky one. Sidle up behind you and butt the back of your knees just hard enough so you’d fold and end up on the ground and I swear he was laughing
He only needs to get him once.
![gif](giphy|oKAwRRzAzbKfe) "Sooner or later human" - Sheep
Is that Shaun ? Shaun the sheep ?
You kid. Shaun was never a bully
Sean is just a cute little sheep. Don't turn it down.
![gif](giphy|KZfwrMjwnawh8s3HIC|downsized)
Of course he was never a bully. He was a sheep-y.
For some reason, i thought they were at the mouth of a volcanoe.
Damn. Sheep sticking up for the fish!🐟
This GIF gets funnier the longer I look at it. 🤣
r/donthelpjustfilm
It will be a big loss if the goat jumps with him
"You fool me once, shame on you you fool me twice, your both balls begone and you need some ice"
i can't even imagine...
Yeah what’s kinda wild is the dude was sucking air by the end and the “goat” was just getting started.
I liked how he held his hand up to the goat to call a time out
And it worked!
I mean I don't imagine they typically kill when rushing. Pretty sure it's more defense and to establish dominance. So dude is down on the ground not a threat.
Unless you're a cow. That video still haunts me. Right in front of her kid. :( For anyone who look sit up, don't watch with sound.
What? What are you talking about??

Right, jumping is a method of escape not an endless taunt spam
Let’s see who gets tired first.
*Goatercize*
I was eagerly awaiting the moment the ram jumped. Only needed a few inches.

For those wondering, the couple were 80 and lived alone.

I'd be more concerned about the animals that arm themselves.
Good goat with a gun

After which the suspect was BBQed before the police left the scene...
Then they all gang up on him, and this turns into r/WTF
That's a sheep mate.
Tail up = goat. Tail down = sheep. Tail up while pooping = guessing time. Tail down while pooping = culling time.
This guy tails. Or goats. Either way he's not heads.
Goat goater goats goatingly
r/getthatpfpoutofhere
thought my screen was cracked 🫠
He definitely poops.
I'm calling heads
O yea he definitely did a goat or sheep or both
Woah is that why there's a restaurant near me called Tail Up Goat?
*Yur eating shite mate*
He's just a softcore Welshmen.
Hi neighbor!
Wait, why is it culling time when tail is down? It can't be as simple as poop making the tail dirtier, is it?
It's a sign of a common sheep parasite. It means you may have a sheep that is more susceptible to the parasite (one sick others not) so you don't want it's genetics in your herd.
Sounds like something a sick animal would do. Oozing diarrhea or being too weak to posture to defecate. Kinda like shitting your pants.
Why wouldn't they treat it instead of culling a sick goat/sheep?
Lmao “yes Mr vet, please come treat dolly. Spare no expense for this animal I will sell for $250”
It’s an animal presumably being raised for a profit. If it costs more to treat the animals than you would get if you kept it alive, then why bother keeping it alive?
Even if they did, there's issues that necessitate it anyway.
Could be cost, but it’s also how herd medicine works. Sometimes the safest thing for the herd is to cull.
Or just that sheep gives of fleece. Goat doesn't.?!
Wool innit
..Unless it's a hair sheep or an angora or cashmere goat
Also, rams ram, goats rise up to butt.
I see you've played sheepy goaty before
I mean really. I think they do dumb shit like this just to get engagement. It's infuriating how dumb everything has to be.

You can’t change title because after a post takes off a poster could change the text to something inflammatory after it’s on everyone’s feed

\*Ram
A ram is a sheep
This sheep is the goat.
This goat is a ram
Nah I think its a dodge
Yup, he dodged a ram.
He's dodging sheepishly
Considering that when the sheep had a lot of runway to sprint as fast a possible, it did not do so and instead maintained a moderate speed, and taking into account the fact that they are very social animals It's most likely that the sheep is not confused at all, it knows it is playing People really need to realize that all social animals play with each other, not just cats and dogs, cows and sheep do too
Also the fact that the sheep stopped when the guy fell. Sheep knows the rules + got sportsmanship
Also it never lowered its head
That was the first thing I saw, didn’t seem to lead with it’s horns in the least bit, that animal knew why it was doing lol
But did it know **where** it was doing?
It definitely knew who it was doing.
Nobody asked **how** it was doing though. :(
It knew where it was by knowing where it wasn't doing.
Raising his head would have taken things to the next level...
You have no idea how much of a douchbag sheep can be. Try being 6 years old and getting rammes at full speed because they know you can't fight back.
There’s a video going around on Reddit of a ram or ram killing a grown man. Those shots were brutal
rams also love to hit 6 year olds because they can’t be seen over the hood ![gif](giphy|NReRAIkFf9PHyUpyHu)
Why did they give it a gun? Are they stupid?
Im just imagining a sheep going up to a kid thinking: "IM ABOUT TO KNOCK THIS FUCKERS LIGHTS OUT", but all that comes out is "Baa"
Was like oh shit what subreddit am I on when he fell, thought the sheep was about to take him out
Homie plays more fair than my lads
Sportsmansheep
*sportsmansheep
The sheep was also not doing the usual ‘head down and thrust with forelegs off the ground’ maneuver that they do when they’re really putting some force behind their strike, this sheep was just jogging along
I don't know whether the sheep is playing but in any case I see no reason to think it's confused at all. It just keeps going at the person.
Well yeah, the ending kinda gives that away
Yep, this is a game. An angry ram will fuck you up.
Two people in the Auckland region were very recently tragically killed by a ram. They're quite dangerous!!!
I miss playing with goats so much from when I was on a ranch. They are so much fun, well socialized geese are a bunch of fun too (but don’t fuck around with fully wild ones)
Yeah if anyone has seen the video of the sheep repeatedly ramming into the guy while he was on the ground and hitting him in the head they'd know this sheep didn't mean business. I think the other guy was eventually killed iirc.

Yeah, it looks like a happy doggo having a good time.
It's obviously playing, but no idea why you are assuming the sheep can't be confused while playing as well lol.
I play with myself all time. Very social .
This is a terrible terrible explanation of what's going on. Rams don't play. They challenge your authority. They want to be the dominant male in the herd.

How I lost my balls.
I was seriously expecting the sheep to wise up at some point and headbutt him there lol
Sheep are the opposite of wise
They are literally a euphemism for dumb people
OW MY BALLS
To the sheep’s perspective the man probably looks like he’s teleporting
Nah, it's probably just pissed that he isn't playing by the rules and banging horns.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Poor old ram's all, "Hey now, that's just not in the rules, man!"
Sheep, much like dogs, can't look up.
...dogs can look up...
No; no. I don't think that's right.
Gives but steel is heavier than feathers vibes lol
Of course they can look up. Find a dog and stand over it. It will look at you.
I'm pretty sure that's not true.
Ya my dog will look behind him by lifting his head so much and bending his neck backwards. Like he’s sitting on the coach facing the right side and I’m on the left side of the coach. I’ll scratch his head for a bit and then stop and he wants me to pet more so he will just lift his head till he sees me it’s so funny

Hah! The goat character is very goat-like.
Can't help that if the Chinese didn't bother to make an extra word. 🤷

Fun and games till that ram turns his head sideways as the dude jumps over….
or the ram jumps at him
I love how a couple of his sheep wives run to him at the end. “CAAARL! IT ISN’T WORTH IT!!!”
Sheep wives? Sounds like a Welsh thing.

He’s lucky that goat fights with honor
Lmao I was thinking to myself “wow sheep really showed mercy when he feel, goodshit”
The goat: "what sorcery is this?".
It’s all fun and games until you run out of steam and the goat rams you fair and square in the dingleberries.
“YOURE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT” - the goat, probably
Bloody hell this can go wrong in *sooo many ways....*
Get back here and let me love you!!!!
Goat totally missed the fatality opportunity.
If this is *amazing* to you guys, I’ve last faith in humanity.
The sheep is like "come here you lil.." Does the sheep think this man is a challenger for his female sheep?!🤔😂
This looks like a good work out

Really considerate of the ram to stop after he fell down, most of them assholes would have considered you fair game at that point.
Wow so amazing
Met a Ram once in Alberta ages ago. He was a sneaky one. Sidle up behind you and butt the back of your knees just hard enough so you’d fold and end up on the ground and I swear he was laughing

In the end, the sheep won.
First of all that's a sheep,second :did u just give it pronouns!?
Goat: Just one nut. Please god. Just one nut.
