EVOLUTION OF DOG BREEDERS

THREATENED BY THE BIRTH OF ANIMAL RIGHTS

by Margaret Byrd for TheDogPlace.org

 

Can Animal Rights born in the 1960s override America’s Constitutional Rights of 1787 which are the envy of countries around the world?

 

According to DNA studies, some 15,000 years ago man crawled from his cave to find food for his family and from there we evolved into today's political society.

 

As he set out to hunt, early man was shadowed by wolves. Ever observant, the wolves knew his mission and that when he was done there would some remnants for them.

 

 

One very bold and clever female stayed closer to the man than the others. She followed his footsteps, reading the air in the clear cold morning. Scenting that which he could not, she moved out ahead of the hunter toward the game she knew lay ahead. The hunter, seeing the wolf’s direction, trusted her guidance.

 

Together they found the quarry quickly and feasted well that night. They shared the kill and at that moment, they were bonded, sharing food and warmth at his fire. She was his partner and he part of her pack. Together they were stronger and safer. Eventually she took a mate and brought her young into the camp, gifting the man with new offspring that carried the female’s abilities into the next generation.

 

Thus, scientists say the wolf evolved into the dog and became the first domesticated species circa 13000 BC. Canis lupus familiaris became Dog and Homo sapiens became Man {Ref #1}. The first breeder was born and neither man nor dog ever looked back.

 

So it was that every breed of dog began as a helpmate that exhibited a useful function. The owner would recognize those talents and seek to preserve them in the offspring. Shepherds created herding dogs with coats to match the climate of the area where they lived. Hunters developed dogs that would go below ground after vermin, run down fast quarry, or track wounded animals.

 

When a dog displayed a special ability, other people in the area would seek to gain those talents by getting a pup or breeding to that dog's sire. The result was an array of different looks and "types" specific to the purpose for which they were bred. Humans thoughtfully selected for and preserved those characteristics that enabled a dog to be successful in pursuit of a particular purpose. And thus dog breeders were born.

 

Over hundreds of years, one generation at a time, the canine's special talents were preserved and brought into the present day. Each breeder was but a single link in an unbroken chain linking talented animals to the next generation. A breeder’s choices determined the direction and survival of the species and the goodness that it possessed.

 

AND THEN CAME ANIMAL RIGHTS

The partnership between man and dog continued to develop and enrich both species until ii Animal Rights activists arose as a threat to the creation of talented dogs with specifically developed skills {Ref #2}.

 

The “animal rights” goal is the end of all animal agriculture, meaning no human can own or control any animal. Dog breeders were attacked first because they were a softer target than were livestock producers. The “animal rights” activists created demeaning terms like “Puppy Mill” and “Back Yard Breeder” and catchy phrases such as “Don’t breed or buy while others die.” Slowly they crept into the animal welfare community and changed its mission from caring for animals to that of destroying the human-animal bond, one breeder at a time.

 

Animal Rights activists openly say: "Our goal is to make the public think of breeding [dogs and cats] like drunk driving and smoking."

 

Other outrageous declarations caught fire with radical attention-seekers. "We have no ethical obligation to preserve the different breeds of livestock produced through selective breeding. One generation and out."

 

Even more preposterous, Wayne Pacelle, Senior VP of Humane Society of the US (HSUS) stated "We have no problem with the extinction of domestic animals."

 

Equally as irrational, "My goal is the abolition of all animal agriculture" announced JP Goodwin, employee of the Humane Society of the US, in a "chat list" discussion group of the late 1990s.

 

"BREEDERS MUST BE ELIMINATED!"

COWS PROVIDE MILK, MEAT, CHEESE AND A SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY"No one should be allowed to produce (animals) for their own amusement and profit" and "...let us know and we will post their name, location, phone number..." and other such radical attacks were posted by Campaign on Animal Defense League's website in 2003.

 

In 2020 mankind stands at a unique point of time in the history of animal agriculture.  Animal rights intend to stop ownership and consumption of ALL animals and animal products.

 

The rest of us can choose to support the work of breeders to ensure the continuation of meat, leather, and pets into the future or we can turn away.

 

Non-owners say “none of it is our fight, let them work it out on their own” but as the knife cuts away the sex of each companion animal till there is no reproduction possible, what else is lost to human kind? What about dairy products and farm animals? What emotional support, services and talents are forever silenced by the demise of companion animals?

 

If you prefer a mutt remember they too will disappear.  If you love your purebred dog, thank a breeder. If the ii Animal Rights movement succeeds, you will no longer have a best friend.

 

The union of human and canine created a wildly successful survival strategy which has stood the test of thousands of years. See the net's best photos and History Of The Dog (opens in a window) and then explore the display links below.
