In fact, venison has been one of human food sources since ancient times. However, in modern society, the custom of eating venison has long been changed.

In ancient times, people used stones, spears and other tools to hunt animals, and deer was one of them.

However, in ancient times, human food sources were very few, and coupled with natural environmental factors, people could use hunting to capture deer.

Nowadays, the environment has changed, humans have explored more and more areas, and due to animal protection, it is difficult to eat venison.

Cattle, sheep and other livestock have been domesticated and bred by humans and gradually turned into meat for the market.

In terms of breeding, deer are very timid animals that are easily frightened and have high requirements for a quiet environment.

Deer are so lively and active that no one can catch them when they run, and they can jump over fences when they jump, making them difficult to restrain.

In addition, deer have low fecundity and are prone to genetic diseases. Breeding is very difficult, so people will naturally not choose it.

There is indeed one species of deer in the Cervidae family that has been tamed by humans, and that is the reindeer.

Reindeer are distributed in Russia, Alaska, Norway, Finland, Northern Europe and other regions where the weather is freezing. However, reindeer are also divided into semi-wild reindeer and artificially domesticated reindeer. Most of them survive in a semi-free range manner.

The first point is regional restrictions. Reindeer live in cold zones, and are most widely distributed in the far north, so the promotion area is small.

The second point is that the reproduction rate is low. Reindeer all have singletons, so the fertility rate is very low.

The third point is the feeding cost. The feeding fodder for deer is much higher than that of cattle and sheep, so the feeding cost is too high.

For the above reasons, reindeer cannot be bred and raised in large numbers, let alone become meat in human mouths.
