Bulls and cows are actually red green colour-blind. A bull may charge if he thinks you are in his territory (walking across his field). Certain cattle breeds are more dangerous than other breeds. A cow may charge if you are walking a dog in the same field as she and her calf. Young cows may charge towards you from the other side of a field, more out of curiosity than anger, but can be very intimidating to people not used to cattle. But in any case, colour is not a factor.

What kind of a door does a bull charge at?

A bull charges at a red door because bulls are colorblind to red. The misconception that bulls are angered by the color red likely stems from the use of red capes by matadors in bullfighting. In reality, bulls charge at moving objects, not specific colors.

Why does the color red make bulls angry?

It is a common misconception that the color red angers bulls. Like most mammals, cattle are red-green color blind. The bull has been provoked by various other people by various means before the matador enters. It is also the movement of the matador's cape in bullfighting, and not the color, which provokes the bull's reaction.


Why do bulls charge?

bulls dont charge at red its just how the red keeps on moving that effects them ^^ That is false. It's not specifically the red. The cloth could be any color, it's simply the motion that entices them to charge.--THOUGHLESS21


Why does a bull charge when it sees red?

They don't. They only charge at the rapid movement of the cape, not the colour. Cattle (which includes and also refers to bulls) and other grazing animals only have blue and yellow receptors in their eyes, no red receptors, thus a bull (which cannot nor do not see the red in the cape that the matador is waving at him) will be merely charging at the movement of the object or person, not the object or person that is of a red colour.Actually bulls aren't attracted to red they just chase the moving object because their color blind and they see it threatening.
