	Working animal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A working animal is a semi-domesticated animal that is kept by humans and often trained to perform various tasks, regardless whether they are also used for consumption of meat and milk or for other products (such as leather).
		The history of working animals is as old as agriculture, and possibly longer, some speculate, and has encompassed most aspects of human civilization down to the present day with millions of animals working in symbiotic relationships with their owners around the world, particularly in poorer countries and in agricultural industries.
		As the practice of using working animals spans millennia it has accrued much folk lore and forms an important connection between religion and agriculture, and is a specific focus of research in agricultural science.
