From fiction stories, fairytales to reality, it is always believed that a bull will run after a flapping cape of red fabric. But haven’t you ever wondered why does this beast hate the colour red so much? Let’s find out the reality behind this concoction. <keyword id="8249446" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="bulls-are-color-blind">Bulls are Color Blind</keyword> Sorry to burst your bubble folks, but bulls, like any other cattle, are colour blind. That means they can’t differentiate between colours. So whether the matador is using a red cape (mutela), green or even white, it won’t make a difference for our beast. But then why the sudden anger? The next point answers that. <keyword id="8249447" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="bulls-charge">Bulls charge</keyword> at the sight of movement No, the bulls don’t get angry due to the red mutela; instead, it’s the movement of the cape that irritates them. The bulls used in bullfighting are from a very aggressive breed. They are trained to charge at the sight of a moving object. Hence, when the matador flutters the cape in front of the bull, it charges towards him with full force. Now, if it’s the movement that ignites anger in the beast, why choose red mutela in particular? Read the next point. Red Mutela is used to hide <keyword id="6450470" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="bloodstains">bloodstains</keyword> A matador has a good but gruesome reason to choose this particular colour. In fact, the red mutela is only used in the final 3rd stage of the bullfight. Matador uses it to hide the sword. The colour red is chosen to hide the bloodstains of the bull as the matador fends it. So next time you see a bull chasing after red fabric, remember that it’s due to the movement of the fabric. It has nothing to do with the colour of the fabric.

Five years ago, the 25-year-old adopted Lola, a Staffordshire bull terrier and Great Dane mix, and, last summer, he brought in an addition to the family: Plum, a miniature Australian shepherd who was born deaf and partially blind. At first, Mann was nervous about adopting a dog with special needs, but "the second after" meeting Plum, who was being fostered by a coworker, he was in love. "I definitely didn't know what I was getting myself into but I did know that I loved her and wanted to give her a good life," he told Insider.Over time, with lots of "trial and error," Mann says, the two learned to communicate — and they're currently working on touch signals to help Plum learn commands. "We have 'sit' somewhat down which is a touch under her chin," Mann explained. "And when I want her to follow me or go in a certain direction, I will softly guide her nose in the direction we are going or run my hand along her body in the direction I want her to go."Since Plum joined the family, she's had plenty of fun, from swimming in a secluded creek near Mann's house to meeting new friends in dog parks. She and Lola even share updates on their joint <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lola_plum365/">Instagram account</a>. <h2>Plum's most recent adventure, however, has been skyrocketing to viral fame, thanks to a TikTok video Mann posted in which he demonstrated a gentle way to wake up a dog that can't see or hear. </h2>Finding a way to wake Plum, Mann says, was one of the initial challenges of caring for a dog with special needs. He tried gently petting her, but even a light touch would startle her. Another approach was placing a treat under a nose — a more subtle maneuver, but usually an ineffective one.Ultimately, he discovered, lightly blowing on her nose yielded the best result — and he posted a <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@aiden_m365/video/6813835842323320069">video</a> of their morning routine to <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@aiden_m365">TikTok</a>. "People ask me how I wake up my deaf and blind pup without scaring her," Mann captioned a clip of himself approaching a sleeping Plum."I slightly blow on her. She still gets a startled until she feels me. Then she wants all the love."The video cuts to Mann demonstrating the wakeup process and cuddling Plum. In just five days, the video has been viewed 51 million times and racked up over 12.5 million likes. The comments section is full of support for Plum — and some emotional responses from TikTok users and even celebrities. "Not being dramatic, but I would die for that dog," one commenter wrote. "why am I crying," YouTube star and makeup guru <a href="https://www.insider.com/manny-mua-on-mental-health-cancel-culture-youtube-offline-life-2020-2">Manny Mua</a> commented on the video. The verified TikTok account for the grammy-award winning duo The Chainsmokers added that video triggered "the feels." The mini Australian shepherd's fans clamoring for more content are in luck — Mann has posted more dog content on TikTok and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/aiden_m365/">Instagram</a>, from Plum's first taste of yogurt to her romps in the house with her new friends. Other highlights include Plum checking out the shower and walking her fans through her daily routine. <h2>While Mann did not expect the video to go viral — he insists he wouldn't have worn a shirt with a hole if he'd known how many people would see it — he hopes that viral fame will draw attention to two causes close to his heart.</h2>First, he hopes that Plum's story will bring awareness to a particular issue in dog-breeding called double merle breeding. When two merle-colored <keyword id="32596" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="Dogs">dogs</keyword> are bred together, he explained, each puppy has a 25% chance of being born as a "double merle" — which results in excessive white coloration, lack of pigment, and potential hearing and vision loss. The breeding practice, Mann believes, is the reason for Plum's condition, and he hopes to shed light on what has been referred to as a "lethal genetic practice."Mann, who is trans, has another goal for his viral fame: to connect with and inspire the trans community. "With myself being trans and plum also being 'different' I hope it shows that no matter how different beings are, everyone deserves love and a chance at a happy life," he said.Read more:<a href="https://www.insider.com/common-mistakes-people-make-with-their-pets-2020-1">Veterinarians reveal 10 of the most common mistakes pet owners make</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/photographer-with-four-dogs-will-make-your-day-2020-4">This photographer shares beautiful photos of her four dogs, and their adorable faces are bringing joy to people stuck in quarantine</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/bbc-sports-broadcaster-commentating-on-games-between-dogs-2020-4">These dogs are GOATs: A BBC sports broadcaster has resorted to commentating on games between his pups during the shutdown and it's hilarious</a>Read the original article on <a href="https://www.insider.com/viral-tiktok-dog-owner-wakes-up-blind-and-deaf-pet-2020-4">Insider</a>

A TikTok video of a dog owner waking up his blind and deaf pup has melted hearts across the internet

It's a classic trope, a bull will always run at flapping cape of red fabric. That's why bullfighters always use red capes right? At least, that's what cartoons taught us. But maybe the reason bulls charge has nothing to do with the color of the cape, and the red has a much more violent purpose. The following is a transcript of the video.You've seen this before. The matador waves his red cape and the bull charges! What's the deal, bull? What do you have against the color red? A Matador's cape is called a muleta and they have a good, but gruesome reason for their color. You see, bulls can't actually see red. Like all cattle, they're color blind to it. Then why the hate? Bulls are irritated by the movement of the cape. They see the waving fabric and charge, regardless of color. In fact, the muleta is only used in the final 3rd of a bullfight The matador uses it to hide his sword, and he pierces the bull as it charges past. The cape is traditionally red to mask the bloodstains. That's one way to save on dry cleaning.
