The Haidi used to raid our local tribes, capture prisoners and take them back north. Some had their legs removed below the knees, and their purpose in life was to become a paddler.
So let me understand this.
* Capture people to use as paddlers only.
* They must have had a lot of sea canoes that need to be constantly
paddled.
* Amputate legs below knees.
* Captive is virtually useless to the tribe for any other labor
around the camp.
* Since the captive is a slave, seems like an unlikely scenario of
human resource management.
* On the other hand, the captives ain't running away from camp
anytime soon!
