Yeah Wiki central for sure.
Personally I think our doggie overlords have gone a bit too far with that one, but at least they're not rubbing our noses in it so far.Quote:

Didn't you take biology 101? Most mammals lose the ability to digest milk as an adult. Their tummies stop producing the enzyme required.Quote:

I thought this was common knowledge. It's basic evolution.
Hey, they invented writing and the wheel. Two out of three ain't bad.Quote:

Milk digestion of humans is one good example of where the science-based understanding is young. Also, throw into the mix, the microbial and lack of microbial found in milk and things become even less clear.
I digest the fuck out of milk and, especially, cheese. So does my dog. Take that science!
Neither one of you is going to shit for a whole week.

We have wild horses (equus caballus) that are feral (lives in the wild but descended from a domesticated animal) and are considered wild. There are also what are known as wild burros (equus asinus) which are called wild but probably are feral.
http://modernfarmer.com/2014/09/dang...cattle-hawaii/
The wild cows behave differently than domesticated cattle but are feral. Why do the horses and burros get to be wild? Why all the cow bigotry?
And the pigs, let's not forget the pigs. A feral pig is a Wild Boar, no?
See. This is the kind of shit you don't hear on Fox news.
On the other hand a feral cat and a wild pussy are not the same thing.
What about guinea pigs? Where did they come from?Quote:

He knew it, yet he posted it anyway. What a Conundrum!Quote:

Someone probably already answered this, but the generic term is "cattle."Quote:

Humans domesticated bison
We create something when it's been genetically modified to have different DNA than its wild predecessor.
Anything we do that changes a organism-- thru natural selection, hybridization, mutation, Transgene, CRISPR changes the DNA.

I'm not sure the feral/wild semantic really matters. I didn't think they were mutually exclusive
Of course it matters and they are indeed mutually exclusive unless you haven't yet figured out the bright line distinction between Nature and fauna/flora created and/or manipulated by humans. WTF? Now you gonna tell me that Luther Burbank and guys with animal husbrandy degrees are gods? See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AnthropocentrismQuote:

I bet farmed cows taste better than feral ones.

Cows engendered to be hornless to help end the cruel practice of dehorning.
Can one of the mods move this to the bullfighting forum?
