Abstract
When Europeans landed on the shores of Hispaniola, Marcy Norton argues, they encountered belief systems that challenged much that they held to be true. The people they encountered did not live with animals in the same way that these men from Christian culture did: crucially, the indigenous populations did not have a category of ‘livestock’; rather, they held that animals that were fed by humans were not for eating by humans; that raising animals for consumption was anathema to ideas about hospitality and familiarity.
