I will say shook off and turning loose are two very different things!
Good point.
I look at it like this... imagine a professional boxer that's used to gettin' his face knocked in for yrs and yrs... then one day somebody walks up behind him whilst he's in a fight and hamstrings him with a razor blade...
"Why'd he stop boxing?

I always laughed at this topic because my dad would say I seen you and your brothers quit lots of things I thought you should have finished. Playing with a broken finger, arm, a bad cut, whatever. He would say give the dog a chance I gave yall chances in that aspect you and your brothers all would have been culled I guess it was those words that made me rethink my culling process in those stressful situations. LOL
