Re: [RC] Shoot the Clones - NOT! - Barbara McCrary
Not only are many breeds of modern dogs
incapable of hunting, many of the breeds are incapable of reproducing without
medical intervention. I have a niece who is a dog expert, and she says
many of the breeds require C-sections in order to whelp.
Sheeeesh!

We have been doing exactly that to every plant
and animal we raise for the last 5000+ years. This is just a new way to
do the old thing.
Think about it. Maize (Indian corn) is so
changed from its ancestors that it can't breed on by itself (the kernels are
to tightly stuck to the cob to disperse among other things), in fact the
wild ancestor was unknown until a few years ago. Look at dogs.
Most toy dog breeds are totally incapable of hunting (too small, bad teeth
etc) Domestic sheep, do not shed the wool (which originally was an
undercoat), so if not sheared die from infection in the dense wool, if not
from stupidity. There are no wild herds of domestic sheep.
As much as some would like, the Genie will not go
back into the bottle. This holds for all human discoveries.
