Ha! Good example there cbike! I loved how on my recent tour in India, us riders would be cautiously creeping by some goat, cow, buffalo, dog, whatever, trying not to provoke it into attacking us...all while some old woman or tiny child is walking by the same beast and either ignoring it or whacking it with a stick to move it out of their (or our) way. I followed their lead and stopped worrying about the animals attacking me until they showed that they were really likely to do so - then I'd yell at 'em firmly they'd would leave me alone lickety split.
