  There are several answers to this question and I have listed a few below but I am sure there are more:
  Pet animals are like humans and may be a little unsure of a person before they meet them but providing you approach with confidence and friendliness you will gain their trust.
  Animals like sheep are just nervous of everything and don’t have much interaction with humans, and it is the same for wild animals, it is the unknown. There may also be animals that have been mistreated and just have a general mistrust of people
