==Animals== ===Canines=== There are a variety of dogs. Mostly farming dogs. They were domesticated early and were never a source of meat. Dogs are a common farm animal used to keeping cows from straying. They are common pets and are allowed indoors. ===Felines=== Cats are common and are usually used as hunters of pests and vermin like mice and rats and insects. Cats are common pets and are often allowed inddoors as are dogs. ===Fowls=== Chickens, geese, ducks, turkey, doves, partridges, and pigeons were commonly found. These are a common meat for them. Chicken, goose, turkey, and dove are domesticated. Early every home has a dove cote. ===Fish and shellfish=== ====Fish==== They have river fish but no ocean fish. The ocean waters cause river fish to mutate like shadow creatures and it scares the natives. Offworlders have found the mutated meat edible but the natives can not be convinced. Fishing is a almost daily practice for some people and fish are a very common food stuff. Nearly anyone can be convinced to make a snack and go fish for an hour. Geologically they are rivers crisscrossing the shadows so they are not far to walk to. ====Shellfish==== Fresh water river shellfish are plentiful. Oysters, abalone, crab, lobsters crawdads, clams, can all be found throughout the rivers of Jasua. They are almost never found in ocean waters. ===Cows=== Cows are one of the exceptions to the rule of large meat animals. However they are odd. Both female cows can be milked with normal results. However half of male cows may be milked as well. They produce a milk identical to cow milk. The other half of cows are castrated and used as oxen. Milk was such a common drink that they never considered killing them for meat till Prince Eric suggested it. When it was tried the people universally disliked the taste of red meat. After that it was not done again. Cows eat local grasses and the leavings of vegetables in a manner similar to goats. Nearly every home farm has two to 6 cows. Male and female cows are similar in appearance with the exception that male cows have horns that fall off every few years and are used in many ways. ===Oxen=== Half the male population of cows become oxen and are used as beasts of burden. Families also treated them as pets. ===[[Dottles]]=== Another large meat animal on Jasua are [[dottles]]. There is some evidence that in ancient history [[dottles]] were eaten but by the time Prince Eric discovered the realm this practice was long forgotten. [[Dottles]] were domesticated. They were used for plowing gardens and fields that were not rocky. They were used as riding animals and to pull small carriages for four people or less. Mostly two person carriages. Dottles are a very protective animal and often bonded with their rider. A [[dottle]] can live 45 years. Dottles are frequently raced and seem to enjoy the sport being competitive against each other. Dottles can be bossy toward cows and oxen. [[File:Dottle1.jpg|200px]] ===Honey & Bees=== As might be expected bees are a common insect and ad revered by the Jasuans. Killing one is not just bad luck but if witnessed is considered sacrilegious. Nearly every home has some beehives. They prepare honey and use it as one of their main sweeteners. It is an export for large bee keepers but most communities dislike the honey export business. Beehives have many uses as well as producing honey and the Jasuans are experts at it and often export such items. ====Beeswax==== Bees wax candles are a ubiquitous item in every Jasuan home. Olive Oil and Beeswax candles are the two most common sources of light.
