Just because it's possible to get such results by selective breeding it doesn't necessary mean it's good or natural. It may be natural by selective breeding but when the result is an animal that can hardly walk or otherwise has a lousy life it's not right. I as a consumer should use my power and avoid buying animals that are poorly breed. In the same way that happened with eggs from chickens. People stopped buying eggs from chickens in cages a few years ago. Now you only find eggs from free range chickens in the market. The same with chicken that grew too fast due to the use of a kind of antibiotics called naracin. People stopped buying it. Now it's out of use and a new chicken breed that grows slower (less skeleton problems) and is more robust is used.GTR wrote:I'm with Txdragon. Selective breeding can produce crazy results. This is really true in hogs. Reaching sexual maturity at 6 months and with a gestation period of about the same duration a single sow can throw 3-4 litters a year. Finding a line of females that nick well with a line of boars is only a couple generations away. Just consider the hog industry is nothing like it was 40 years ago. American hog, beef and chicken ranchers have been using selective breeding practices for decades. By such they have breed slaughter animals that are taller, longer, more muscular and certainly less fat laden. Frankenswine is just an extreme example of what these breeding practices can produce.
Selective breeding is all fine but must stop before it gives the animal poor health.
I am a strong advocate for giving animals a healthy and a life without suffering the time they have until slaughtered.
