Domestication is a continuing process which takes place in the context of animals’ and humans’ cohabitation on same territory and should not be approached as a one-time and completed action.

Reindeer herding is based on constant relocation of animals from place to place, implying daily short-term movements in order to bring them to a camp and to monitor predators’ movements. In case ...
