It's no different than mourning the old 90's internet or music from a certain era. A thing gp loves about the world will diminish drastically because it's no longer viable, and they're going to miss it when it's gone. Makes sense to me.
- addicted 5y agoI get what you’re saying and think you’re right, but it is very different. Someone keeping the 90s internet alive will cost them money but have no other collateral damage. Keeping dog tracks alive means subjecting many sentient living creatures to a fairly cruel life.
- jack_pp 5y agoYou can keep the breed alive using time/money too. Make a YouTube channel about the breed, ask for donations from like minded people or use your own money to breed them etc

- Icathian 5y agoBreeds have absolutely vanished in the past(1). It takes an awful lot of effort to breed dogs and if there isn't money in it most breeders won't. Without the main financial incentive it's not crazy to think that within a human generation everyone who did it for money will have moved on and anyone who did it for love will have retired. 1. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_extinct_dog_breeds https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_extinct_dog_breeds
