If the animal can physically hurt me, i will keep my distance. E.g. i don’t mess with cows in a field, even though they are likely harmless. I usually have to cross fields when going to fishing spots. During the summer they are full of animals that could EASILY kill me by mistake. Therefore i keep my distance.
Smaller animals and bugs that i know aren’t venomous don’t bother me in the slightest.
Every identity is open for criticism, but it doesn’t mean that the criticism is valid.
