Nah, we min maxed for this already. I mean not me, I'm terrible at running. But I imagine if you go back far enough one of my ancestors was good enough at long distance running that we could eventually chase that horsey down and bang it in the head with a rock when it's all tired out.

Trapping and feeding goes a long way too.

The saying "You catch more flies with honey than vinegar" isn't for nothing.

And don't underestimate the humans ability to pet the fuck out of everything!

Animals love receiving pets and we, humans, love petting animals.
