so i will start with this...

what is bonding?

i suspect it has to be more than tolerance of another's presence without killing the other?

aside from not being able to eat all the food before others show up, not killing the others or females breeding with a finite number of males, what else is there?

do they communicate?
do they lead others to water, shelter, new experiences?
do they protect one another, clean one another, teach one another?
are they happy? are they distressed when they are away from the herd?

w-h-a-t i-s b-o-n-d-i-n-g?

alcohol, tobacco and firearms should be a convenience store, not a government agency
