14. We raised bulls on the family farm for a short period of time

The reason it was a short period of time was that several of them were dangerously violent, one almost gored my mom (she just barely made it under the gate in time), and that same fucking bull later gored the farmer who bought it from us and put him in the hospital for a month with broken bones.

A 1,000-lb animal can move incredibly fast when it wants to. Respect that.
