(Probably related to or dupe of MC-7464; I created this as a seperate issue due to how mobs != TNT)
I had finished making an underwater tunnel to connect a couple of islands, and wanted to bring a couple cows home from the other island. So I forged myself a couple extra minecarts, hearded a pair of cows in, and ran them to my base minecart station.
I had a spare room already dug out, and decided to store the cows there. I figured the easiest (and safest) way to transport the cows there would be the minecarts they already were in. So I dug up a spiral around my central column (measuring 3x3 spaces; the center space is ladder, the other 8 are dirt, but I digress), hugging the corners to save space and track. I then start pushing one of the cows up.

It didn't happen that quickly, however. I had ended up determining what exactly was hurting the cow, it was the turn it had to go through. Specifically, a turn where there are nontransparent blocks on the inside of the turn. The other cow (and a third one I later got) safely made it up the slopes when I revised the path to avoid the hugged turn.

Just confirmed that both sheep and pigs take damage. Also discovered a possible additional glitch, gonna search for dupes before reporting.
Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.7.2 / Launcher version 1.3.4 ? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

I, with the exact same setups, have just confirmed that chickens do NOT take damage this way. At some point, I'll get a pig and sheep tested.
