It has a simple request, a simple idea, and does not sound too hard to implement.
I believe, in addition to the new hunger system, hunting animals should be more interesting. So far, swinging your sword/fist/shovel/cake kills everything. Animals need to fight back. Pigs, upon being hit and recovering from their invulnerability, should charge at you, dealing 1-3 hearts of damage. This charge should be fast enough to make avoiding it difficult. Cows, and maybe sheep (rams in particular, if Notch adds them) should also attack the player in a similar fashion. This would make scavenging string from spiders of the UTMOST IMPORTANCE in order to keep the hunger bar full without relying on tiny chickens. Btw, chickens should fly away upon being attacked, making it almost impossible to kill them without a bow. I also think skeletons should be disarmed, and rather shoot force bolts. If any of you less nerdy people out there think this too DnD-ish, maybe bones would be good. But if they shoot bones, they should lose 1/2 heart per bone shot. They would stop upon reaching a few hearts. These concepts, in my opinion, would greatly enhance the minecraft experience. Thank you for considering my suggestion, and if Notch dislikes it, maybe someone could make a mod.

I don't think passive mobs should ATTACK you. They should (try to) run away. I like your chicken flying idea. Maybe they don't FLY away like an eagle, but jump up two blocks high and flap their wings a bunch.
Chickens should just sit there and take it: they're stupid, so at most they should run away. I agree with the pigs fighting--but not 1-3 hearts; waaaay OP, more like 1/2. After all, they are PASSIVE mobs. Cows should be big ol' tanks though-- they should drop kick your player back to the stone age! Maybe 1 1/2 hearts per hit. Squids, however, would be tricky to fight. If they run away, you can't get 'em. If you run away, they can get ya. See what I mean there? Flying chickens just wouldn't be fair-- after all, chickens give feathers, and you need feathers to get an arrow, and you need an arrow to get a chicken-- ergo, you need to kill a chicken to get a chicken. Maybe you could fight a zombie for a feather or a skeleton for an arrow, but fight an aggressive mob to get one HIT on a measly chicken? Not to mention that chickens take 2 or 3 hits to be killed. But I agree, the mobs don't even seem worried about you, like
"Oh, I got hit! AAAAAH! RUN AWAY!"

Well said- but i think the key tactic against chickens is trying to land in a hit, jumping over them, and finishing them off with a head slice. This would make it possible, if a little hard, to kill a chicken (as you said) to get a chicken. Thanks for the feedback, bro.

What if, when you attack a passive mob, that mob and all nearby passive mobs try to run away from you, but only if they can see you.
