Breed This

I just read an article in Sunday's New York Times Magazine which talked about the differences of opinion that exist in the dog-breeding community about so-called "designer hybrid" dogs. You know, like puggles and boggles and bagels and such. It was a strange piece, and not just because I think militant breeders are the animal-world equivalents of white supremacists, but mostly because it was disconcertingly creepy to read about people speak so casually about playing God (if you will). Humans tinkering with genetics is a scary enough idea, but humans tinkering with genetics for their own weird satisfaction (and profit) seems egomaniacal and evil.

But that's just my opinion.
