So, I get that we'll need guard dogs at first, if we even have defensive animals, but why not eventually domesticate hyenas? They're fully capable of surviving in Africa, and are very effective killers. Do you think it could be done?
>Inb4 not even finished planning the trip and you're planning animals of burden
It's just a thought that I figured I'd share since it's relevant.

Well it's not hyenas, but we could get a pretty good amount of food from herding Karakul sheep, which is found in large numbers in Namibia, for their ability to survive drought with the fat from their tails.

>>5069You're not too far ahead of yourself. Guns are going to be hard to come across, so defense will be rough. Guard dogs might be the only thing we have for defense.
>>5107>>5110Actually, one of the farms we're looking at comes with 2000 sheep.

>>5107While I think vegetarians who do it for social and moral reasons are silly, I'm afraid that you people are going to have to be vegetarians do the fact that it is far more resource friendly.
The amount of land it takes to raise one animal for grazing is ridiculous, you can feed more than one person on a piece of land 1/8th of the size. Unless you want to have chan faggots herding cattle (which I guarantee none of you can do) all across Namibia, you're going to have to do without Meat until you establish trade.

If you domesticate hyenas you will pacify them.
Look what the Soviets did with the fox. They turned a mean killer into a pathetic little friendly fox.
You are more than welcome to try it, but its going to take a long time.
I will stick with Rhodesian Ridgeback dogs.

I fucking hate hyenas.
I would rather have an ocelot as my companion.
I need to find out if it's legal to hunt hyenas. If it is, I'm going in just to kill hyenas.

I just read on wikipedia that cheetahs can be tamed,
Ancient Egyptians often kept cheetahs as pets, and also tamed and trained them for hunting. (But not domesticated i.e., bred under human control.) Cheetahs would be taken to hunting fields in low-sided carts or by horseback, hooded and blindfolded, and kept on leashes while dogs flushed out their prey. When the prey was near enough, the cheetahs would be released and their blindfolds removed. This tradition was passed on to the ancient Persians and brought to India, where the practice was continued by Indian princes into the twentieth century. Cheetahs continued to be associated with royalty and elegance, their use as pets spreading just as their hunting skills were. Other such princes and kings kept them as pets, including Genghis Khan and Charlemagne, who boasted of having kept cheetahs within their palace grounds. Akbar the Great, ruler of the Mughal Empire from 1556 to 1605, kept as many as 1,000 cheetahs.[14] As recently as the 1930s, the Emperor of Ethiopia, Haile Selassie, was often photographed leading a cheetah by a leash.
Cheetahs are still tamed in the modern world. One example is Burmani, who has been raised in England at Eagle Heights wild animal park from the age of three months. He was bred in a deer park in Germany. He is so tame that he has lost his hunting instinct.[54]
That would be so badass to raise cheetahs and hunt with cheetahs.
Way better than dirty, evil hyenas.

You can't tame hyenas at all. Even kept as zoo animals, they need a fair amount of open space.
Hyenas have the strongest jaws for their weight of any mammal. They evolved as a predator that fed off of carrion and to finish off the leavings of other predators like the saber tooths. Their jaws can snap through large bones.
Now, think about the issue of handling animals like that.
>>7252Cheetahs might be the easiest of the big cats to tame, and are certainly the least dangerous. They had a lot of trouble breeding them for years, I don't know if that has changed.
>>7210Ocelots are beautiful, but they're from South and Central America.
Taming the local wildlife is a cool aspiration, but also a big and potentially very dangerous undertaking.
