    Because I have no experience with said stupid ‘metaphor’, I’ve never heard it as a metaphor before today.

    Coming from over 10 years on a horse/donkey ranch, I speak from real life experience. I didn’t realize that people were so dumb as to think you whip such a large animal with a stick, that’s just fucking stupid and asking to die by the animal’s hooves.

    So once again, there’s a reason they make horse/donkey whips, and if you don’t know what that is, well go spend a few days on a large animal farm and learn how dangerous the untrained can be.

      “No experience with said metaphor”, we tried to help you

      If you can’t figure out what we’re talking about with a thread full of context then I don’t know what to tell you. Either way, you can take a lesson learned here or not, I don’t particularly care anymore.

        Go ahead, go tame a donkey by hitting it with a stick, see how far that gets you…

        IDGAF if you newer people that have never handled such animals have turned it into an ignorant meme, it’s a matter of life or death.

        You simply do not hit such large animals with a stick. They will kill you.

        Go visit a training farm.
