Hi Tigger

I really enjoyed your sharing. I find your encounters with animals truly awesome and inspiring, so thanks for expressing.
Yes I was thinking about your post and Jane's post and thinking that perhaps its about feeling 'appropriate' fear (the message for me I think). So the pigs intuitively knew you weren't a threat and needn;t be afraid, but probably wouldn't be like that in the shopping street. I mean there seems to be a 'natural fear response' that animals express that seems right in the situation, the difference I guess is they don't hold onto that fear longer than they need. I rememember watching a tiny kitten accidently freak out a couple of huge dogs that came round a corner, by an extreme but natural response to seeing them. and they ran off! then it just shook itself off and forgetting about it almost immediately after.

best wishes,

Ben
