A flick of geese I was feeding got all aggressive demanding bread from me. When I couldn’t dispense the bread fast enough, one of them repeatedly pecked me hard on my shins. They follow me wherever I go in the park.
A human doing that would get arrested, after being decked in the face

It can be very ASD to think that way depending on where on the spectrum a person actually is.
You are right, animals do not have the logical thinking mind capability that humans do so they can not be expected to do something their mind has no capability of doing. The human mind had the capability so obviously logical thinking is EXPECTED out of people. Even when a human mind is not functioning as normal minds function, if that person insists in functioning in a situation where people with normal thinking people function then the normal thinking & behavior is expected out of them too.
Interesting with my animals, even my wild raccoons & huge horse....they all respect my space because they learned & I have taught them to interface with me & respect my space. I communicate with my animals at a totally different level than many people do & they respond way beyond ways most animals respond to people. But even with animals my interface with them is that of mutual RESPECT & I am sure their personalities are part of what makes my interface with them so good.....besides they all know my boundaries & we thrive together
