It's sort of strange that everyone thinks that an aggressive eugenics program for animals is completely normal and morally acceptable (just because it's been going on for a long time).

You morals are your own; mine are just fine with short lived chickens and $2/lb chicken breast. The angus and longhorn enthusiasts better police some of their nuts or they're gonna get the Aurochs back.
