Just as on earth, and in the Fiero world, deer are a Fiero's main food source. These deer... aren't quite what you're used to however. Most have bright colours and patterns just as the Fieros do. There, the similarities stop, however. The deer are not sentient, for one. And for another, they don't have genders. Any deer can breed with any other deer. Inbreeding don't affect them either.
Now, normally, the humans just leave the deer alone and the Fieros hunt them as they please, but due to a rather unexpected thing that happens while Fieros breed here, humans have domesticated a large amount of deer and raise them as food for their Fieros.
You see, directly after breeding, the female Fiero becomes very weak, and she must eat a large quantity of fresh meat to survive. The easiest way is for the male to find a deer, kill it, and bring it back to her. However, the wild deer are crafty, and difficult to hunt. The domestic deer however, are not. It is very easy for a male to quickly take one down and bring it back to his mate.
That is primarily what the deer are used for, Fiero food. However, due to their rather... unique offspring, some humans choose to breed them and feed only the ones who's colours they don't like to their Fieros.
Deer offspring can be very unpredictable, often in unexpected colours. Even breeding two deer that look the exact same can result in different coloured offspring!
