When it rains, turkeys will look skyward and open their mouths. Many of them will drown by doing this.
Actually, there's a difference between ignorance and stupidity. Ignorance is when you don't know any better, when you lack knowledge. Stupidity is when you know better, when you have the knowledge, but you ignore the knowledge you have. It's difficult to judge in an animal sometimes if an action of theirs is due to ignorance or stupidity.
I'd like to be a cynic and say that an animal that lives among humans and constantly places their trust in them in general seems to be somewhat stupid. You'd think they would have learned by now.
