The relationship between humans and domestic animals has changed in
dramatic ways over the ages, and those transitions have had
profound consequences for all parties involved. As societies
evolve, the selective pressures that shape domestic populations
also change. Some animals retain close relationships with humans,
but many do not. Those who establish residency in the wild, free
from direct human control, are technically neither domestic nor
wild: they are feral. If we really want to understand humanity's
complex relationship with domestic animals, then we cannot simply
ignore the ones who went feral. This is especially true in the
American South, where social and cultural norms have facilitated
and sustained large populations of feral animals for hundreds of
years. Feral Animals in the American South retells southern history
from this new perspective of feral animals.
