INTERNATIONAL ANIMAL AGRICULTURE

"You can count the fingers of one hand the domestic animals that produce virtually all of mankind's meat and milk - a selection made more than 10,000 years ago by our Neolithic ancestors.  Yet the earth teems with thousands of species of animals; why limit ourselves to cattle, pigs, goats and sheep?  Given the world's shortages of energy and water and arable land, why not try to domesticate wild animals?  The effort would save many species from extinction, provide the world with more food, and introduce gentle farming to fragile environments."  N.D.
