It’s also fun to think about the scenario where the Americans practiced husbandry when contact was made, we could have had a two way “genocide”!

- partycoder 8y agoFor that you would need an animal that breeds in captivity, reaches maturity quickly, eats inexpensive food (not meat), with good temperament, and that can be handled in a farming environment (not as agile as deer or as strong as a bison). In the Americas, the only animal that responds to that description are llamas, guinea pigs, capybaras, etc. None of them found in North America.
