conclusion : it's insulting to compare westerners to farm animals
yes, farm animals are less "sporty" and "intrepid" than their wild counter-part, they remain free and dignity-full, specially once facing the wild they return quickly... to life earth and "man"kind
they ain't serf nor slaves mindset.
the westerners, ... pfff, too late.
expression "slave talks" while their owners/masters are away, and then back to your brooms in SPQR slang, meaning : means nothing.
this one is specially nice : you can't teach a slave/serf dignity but you can show him that he has a bigger plate for his good work (than another slave :)), he will be happy.
