130. Climb into a corral with a bull and see how "domesticated" he is...
Livestock is, at best, "semi" domesticated. And ones that have very little human contact are hardly a good standard for comparison. Like a bull. We may define his territory, but make no mistake, it's HIS territory. Enter at your own risk.

Domesticated animals (at least the ones with more brains than a chicken), don't assume OUR territory is THEIR territory except by mutual assent. A dog may claim your yard or house as "his," but he's holding it on your behalf, not his own. A bull, on the other hand, doesn't recognize your claim in the first place.
