I loved what Temple Grandin found - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sn/tvradio/programmes/horizon/broadband/tx/temple/squeeze/index_textonly.shtml

At the ranch
When Temple was 16, she discovered the 'squeeze chute' at her aunt's ranch.
Video transcript

I got to see the squeeze chute working and all they were doing was just vaccinating the animals. They weren't doing anything painful, they were just giving them their shots.

They would go in and the thing would clamp them on their head and then the squeeze sides would come in and squeeze them, hold them. Some calves got all excited, but other calves just sort of went aah. And they just kinda relaxed. It wasn't all the calves that did that, just some of the calve did that. I thought, oh, I've gotta try that.

And so you actually tought, you made that link, you thought well it makes them relax...

That's right, yeah. I made the link, yeah. That's absolutely right. So the next day I got my aunt to lock me in the squeeze chute and everybody thought that was kinda weird.

So you got in it, and then what happened?

Well, I was in there for about half an hour, and then for about an hour afterwards I was calmer.
