      Horizontal slit pupils in those animals were a product of domestication and not from being a prey animal?

          I must be honest in that I’m having trouble understanding the context of your first comment then. Are you suggesting the video itself is dumb, or domestication is dumb (which isn’t discussed in the video at all, as far as I am aware)?

            Watch the video.

            Circular vision gets some things in all directions.

            Vertical, gets the horizon.

            Horizontal gets the elevation.

            Goats were originally an elevation animal.

                  Dumb.

                  Horses and cattle were NOT to be fucked with until humans started breeding them and made them what they are now.

                  That’s how you started the conversation which makes no sense in the context of talking about their eyes because we didn’t change their eyes…
