I recently compared her ability to the way butterflies use their wings' patterns to defend themselves against predators, and I thought it was a funny coincidence.

You can't compare The Stare to an ordinary stare. Something about it spooks animals and it rang a tiny wrong bell for me. If Fluttershy used it on a daily basis on just about any animal, I would be having a problem with it but she doesn't so it's fine.

As you and I have already pointed out, the animals in Ponyland aren't the same wild types we have here in the human world. Their domestication's about similar to their Disney counterparts. But that doesn't mean people, especially people who raise wild animals in their own home, don't know any better. It's made easy for Fluttershy, mostly for the fact it's a kid's show. As a brony once joked, "I am become Snow White!"
