Re: Pedigree Dogs
Breeding for specific visual traits is genetic engineering at a basic level.
It goes against the principles of natural selection which has been the basis of evolution of all life forms on this planet.
The penalties paid for this tinkering are health problems.
I do not approve of the dog shows which have perpetuated this fashion for certain visual traits.
It is legalised animal cruelty.
