"breeding out"
Recently in the state of NSW, here in Australia we had another of those "Amercian pit bull mauls child" events.
The state government reacted by enacting legislation to ban the sale, exchange, distribution, importation and husbandry etc of Amercian Pit Bulls, Japanese Tosers (sp?), Argentine Fighting Dogs and a range of others declared to be "dangerous dogs". People in possession of such dogs were required to have them desexed.
The spokesman for the government said that they intended to "breed them out of existence". The aim is clearly eugenic, but is this semantically accurate? Can one breed some gene out?
cheers

[nq:1]And that is routinely done in breeding for improvement. For example, the first siamese cats in the West tended to have kinked tails. This was considered an error, and kinked tails are rarely seem nowadays.[/nq]
That's sad news! We used to have Siamese, and the proper kinked tail was one of their lovable features, like the growl. I never know where I stand with breed societies: they do pr
