It is true that there was a habit of eating venison in ancient times. It was steamed, boiled, fried, etc., but venison rarely appears on people’s tables nowadays. This is due to the destruction of ecological diversity today. This has caused a large number of deaths of deer that are not adapted to the environment. Deer have also become national protected animals and private hunting by private individuals is prohibited.

In ancient times, there were many types of deer, but the number was not particularly large. Because deer have poor adaptability, they often caused large numbers of deaths due to changes in climate and environment. If they ate vegetation and water sources, If there is any pollution, they will starve themselves to death. Deer have weird temperaments. If there are some big movements and noises around them, the deer will be frightened and may even be frightened to death. Due to their gorgeous appearance and petite body, deer were often treated as pets or delicacies on the dining table by royal nobles of various dynasties, so wild deer were hunted in large numbers.

Deer have not become people’s daily delicacies as commonly as chickens, ducks and geese. The breeders gave a more direct and precise reason: they are not easy to raise, they are not fattening, and they are not delicious. Because its gastrointestinal digestion ability is weak and it often suffers from indigestion, it is difficult to gain fat. Moreover, its own reproductive ability is weak. It does not give birth to many pigs in one litter like pigs. Not only do they give birth to fewer babies, but they also survive. Even less. For breeders, profit must be the first priority. Since you cannot be as fat as pigs, and you are still difficult to take care of and have few babies, then why should I breed you in large numbers?

After thousands of years of selection, chickens, ducks and geese are still an indispensable delicacy on people’s dining tables. There must be reasons for their choice. The first thing to pay attention to is the taste. Maybe domestic animals are more suitable. People’s appetites, and some people can’t accept deer. To put it simply, if deer doesn’t taste good, why should we eat it?
