Why sure they are like humans; for me there is no doubt, …….
BUT my not-too-big nose is 'far from' ….what pigs call their snout.
And as humans mature we move NOT on four limbs, but, instead, on TWO,
BUT bulls rise up on hind legs RARELY, to do what they ……'have to' DO.
(Speaking of cows) , like human females ….cows do suckle their young,
BUT humans have JUST two teats, while 'twice-that' ….from most cows are hung.
And a barnyard-duck rarely says more than ….'quack, quack, QUACK',
BUT an educated human, an impressive array of words does rarely lack.
Horses consume grass and other roughage ….out in the meadow,
BUT humans smoke THEIR 'grass' to get 'high' and to mellow.
And a chicken, I think, would rarely eat a man …..for its meal,
BUT humans flock to McDonalds where, on Chicken McNuggets, we'll get a good deal.
So you see, humans may be 'like' farm animals, but we sure ain't the same;
it's not JUST that humans and pigs [& cows, ducks, horses, & chickens] DON'T share ….. one name.

I've always liked goats- they have senses of humor- more so than many people- but not nearly as much as does Bri (rhymes with eye- that hell-of-a guy) .
ps. Supernumerary teats run in the woman's family? More fun by the dozen, unless you find that udderly disgusting, if so, take you goat back to the barn and get inspired by the milky moon...
So good you said it twice? Entirely too much punctuation encourages excessive flatulation A-

I would like to translate this poem
Your observations are interesting and the similarities and differences between farm animals and humans really will entertain even a dull mind.......! . I visualize Mr. Bri passing a cow pasture 'staring' at the cows teats with a look of longing!
