Let me hold your hand a little. How do you think that domestic animals became domestic animals? It is called selective breeding. You take the more docile animals with the right attributes that you want and breed them. A few Przewalski's horses have been successfully trained from foals. No one could call them a domestic horse. Yes they have similar DNA as Equus caballus but they are true wild animals. Given enough time and effort they could be domesticated.
Question here how many generations does it take to with selective breeding to get what you wish in an animal ????
Example, the Dog, for hundreds of years we have bread dogs to carry different traits, long hair , short or long legs. However no one has figured our how to breed any dog with a Bob tail. We do this for breed standards and also subject the poor things to having their ears clipped, but these traits are stubborn and seldom go into a new generation, few dogs of the bob tail or ear clipped seldom if ever have off spring that does not have the floppy ears and long tail. Not in their DNA.
I remember in school being taught that after 50 years of rising thousands of generations of mice and clipping their tails the next generation will still have tails. Environment cannot take over DNA.
Mutations arise occasionally at the last time one would believe. Cat show, woman there had a odd cat with curly hair. Someone in England found the kitten in her barn, she took the kitten to a Vet. that bought it off her for perhaps $20.00 Us money and sent it on to a experimental cattery in England.
Some how the cattery was enabled to keep the mutation going and led to a whole new species of house cat. Strange cat, it looks like it has a very very short Afro. Price per kitten $2,000 on the barrel head.
Not bad on another isle was a man selling Ossie cats ,years of breeding made the coat look like an Ocelot. designer cats, some one out there is spending a big bunch of money trying to make a 7 pound cat look like a Bengal Tiger.
This in no way other then looks changes their DNA.
Just had a odd thought, watched a documentary on the northern Chinese that seldom go off their horses, that to this day hunt with trained Falcons. Normatic tribe since time began and still nomadic to this day.
Darnedest thing I ever saw, they would ride horse back with their Falcons to the top of a ridge and just wait for the wolves to pass by beneath them perhaps a mile down or so. The released these huge birds of pray and they would swoop down and kill a few wolves, then return to the handlers hands.
I would guess that people can train wild life as long as it it involves their their BASIC instincts.
BTW what is Brawndo ?????
