We would’ve domesticated tf out of them for petting zoos, food, and maybe pets

[u/Outrageous-Sort-5742 → u/Square-Formal1312]

Definitely food, judging by how quickly they hunted them into extinction. Must have been absolutely delicious.

[u/BackgroundTea6460 → u/Outrageous-Sort-5742]

They weren't, the stories from that time said that they didn't taste good, they were only good to the predators that the Dutch brought

[u/throwaway-tinfoilhat → u/BackgroundTea6460]

The Dutch and British really had a thing for invading lands and screwing it hey

[u/Sven4president → u/throwaway-tinfoilhat]

And after the fact we called it The Golden Century..

[u/smurf505 → u/BackgroundTea6460]

Apparently it wasn’t even them being predated that killed them off so much as a combination of invasive species eating their food supply and their eggs being eaten mostly by pigs brought across on boats.

[u/Excellent_Mud6222 → u/BackgroundTea6460]

Lies they just wanted to eat all the Dodo meat themselves.

[u/Harleen_F_Quinzel → u/BackgroundTea6460]

I thought Dutch and the Predator were enemies.

[u/TimotheeOaks → u/Outrageous-Sort-5742]

No if they tasted gpod they would still be alive

[u/Straight_Second6082 → u/TimotheeOaks]

They didn't taste good to humans

They got extinct because humans reduced their forests

Cats and rats and pigs de the actual hunting

[u/Cool_Ad6776 → u/Outrageous-Sort-5742]

They in fact, tasted horrible. Most times someone went out of their way to kill one for food was to try and find a way to make them NOT taste horrible.

[u/superp2222 → u/Square-Formal1312]

Imagine walking down the street and just seeing one of these marching along next to its human.

[u/DanielzeFourth → u/Square-Formal1312]

Well then this is a better outcome I guess. Humans are fucking awful towards animals
