Did humans create cows?

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.

They are specimens of a domesticated species and thus feral, not wild. The population of Canus lupus that are called "wolves" were never domesticated, and are thus wild. You know that.

Aren't the really difficult to spell Mongolian ones wild not feral?

Yeah, but Conundrum wasn't talking about those

"Feral horses couldn't drag me away" doesn't have quite the same ring.

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

can this semantic discussion transition to "beef", "horse beef", and "pork"? Did I get that right? What is the proper term for dog meat? "black dog"?

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

But both Keith Richards and the BLM call them wild and Bobby speaks the Gospel.

Did humans create domesticated bison? such as http://www.fullcirclebisonranch.com/

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.

Don't ask me, your father's a Freemason.

To be street food in peru?

All I know is that I owe the dude or dudette that bread wagyu a high five.

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/Anthropocentrism

ETA: Dumbing it down for the retards: Cattle are walking crops

Yeah that's exactly what he was about to tell you.

China will be creating cows soon

I bet farmed cows taste better than feral ones.
