Answer 1

People are missing the point of domestication. It’s not that deer run and jump better than pigs, cows or sheep. It’s the lack of herd structure that allows for a human to dominate and be recognized as the leader. Yes, their athleticism makes it difficult, but it’s the lack of tame-able (couldn’t decide how to spell it lol) traits that stick generation to generation that prevent it from being domesticated.
