I think it's possible that things that seem normal and inoffensive can become horrific simply from scale. You'll climb the stepladder without complaint, but then there's that radio tower in Canada...

Others like the idea of the family cow, then they see the 10,000 head feedlot from the highway.

Scale is sometimes sufficient by itself to induce horror.
