>>13094717I'm guessing early man didn't want to get gutted by those fucking horns after watching their friend or brother suffer that fate. A horse has no horns and thus is a much easier target, as far a domestication is concerned. It reminds me of the old fable about how if you and a friend are being chased by a bear that you don't need to outrun the bear, just your friend, so the horse got domesticated because it was the easier target. Life is all about playing the odds.
In our ancient past, before we domesticated the moose or even the horse, there were brave heros who tried and paid the ultimate price. i.e. gutted by a moose or kicked in the head by a horse. But once the horse was domesticated there was no point to going after the moose. We should have a domestication-hero day (obv. a man) in honor of those whe did the difficult trask of domesticating wolf/dogs, horses, boar/pigs, cattle, etc. and replace all the pozz'd, woke bullshit holidays that nobody celebrates today.
