1200 BCE is not prehistoric

Much more

Largest Cassowary is around 1.3 to 1.7m

But the Faroes are not a country

I was expecting Iceland to be in the top 3

But given the Faroes are not a country, they do make it into the top 5

And the UK does squeeze into the top ten :)

If that's how it came across, dismissive of the peoples themselves, as opposed to calling something depending upon an animal introduced only 400 years ago not culturally traditional, then I am in the wrong for using those quotes, and I accept that I have offended those who saw it as dismissive of them. And I apologise for that

> understood the point you attempted to make

Well, you're the one who ultimately said it's not an old tradition, which was my original point, so I'm delighted to accept that and move on

And I never said it wasn't a tradition, just not an old one, you illiterate cunt

"she began talks with a team of French geneticists to analyze the DNA of the sanctuary’s native horses. She expects that their results will provide undeniable scientific proof..."

... that all horse species currently extant on the North American continent are descended from European, caballoid, horses https://awionline.org/content/wild-horses-native-north-american-wildlife

Horses were only introduced into the North American landmass in the late 1400s

They were not widely distribured until the mid 1600s

My university college has older 'cultural traditions' than that

There are no wild horses in the US

Przewalski's horse is the only remaing wild horse in the world

No, you didn't

There have been no wild horses in the US since the last ice age

No wild mustangs in the US

Cheetah seldom take an adult zebra

And yes, they are a major component (>10%) of cheetah diet in South Africa

There have not since the end of the last ice age (c.11000 years ago) ever been wild horses in the US

Very accurate comparison - destructive feral species not being properly managed

Columbus never set foot on what today is the US

The US has never had wild horses, and feral numbers at their peak were around a million at most

> And my tribe it is one our many cultural traditions

Pretty damn recent 'cultural tradition'

Or in the case of the Mustangs were deliberately loosed to go feral

There are no wild horses in the US

I have no idea about US laws

That's a c16th migration of the c16th word jakes, meaning piss-place ... and no one knows why
