Dunno, on the one hand you read about them being accomplished breeders and traders of fine horses and mules.
OTOH there’s accounts of them cutting steaks out of live horses, might have made them taste better, like the Chinese boiling live dogs.
"...if the gentlemen of Virginia shall send us a dozen of their sons, we would take great care in their education, instruct them in all we know, and make men of them." Canasatego 1744
