In 1952 I saw what a 600lb Jersey bull could do and I never 
forgot that.  You'd have a hard time getting a crowd to follow 
you into a bull's area because the bull reputation is pretty 
well known.  Most people automatically exhibit restraint around 
bulls, and similar animals.  I am no less wary around people.
I do not get into crowds and whenever I go into a convenience 
store or similar people situation I have already counted and 
located most of the people in it AND formulated a plan as to 
what the Glock and I are going to do should it suddenly go bad.  

We are getting sidetracked into lethal capabilities here.  
Horses are the most dangerous animals on earth because people 
let their guard down when they are around them.  For the most 
part when things go bad with bulls, tigers and ratites, people 
think, "What did you expect?"  When things go bad with a horse, 
people usually not only say, "Freak accident," they add, "Let's 
try this again and see if it turns out different."

No, I meant horses are the most dangerous animals on earth.

list of other horses were the worst kind of horses.  They caused 
millions to forget the risk." Walker
