他們和愛因斯坦一樣,因自己的發明而后悔
????7.拉布拉多貴賓犬 ????20世紀80年代末期,沃利?康倫在拉布拉多犬和貴賓犬的基礎上培育出了拉布拉多貴賓犬。但他卻為自己引發的育犬熱感到后悔。去年他對美聯社表示:“我搞了許多破壞……我帶來了很多問題……有很多不健康和被遺棄的狗無家可歸。” ????康倫早在20年前就停止繁育拉布拉多貴賓犬,但這并未阻礙它非常火爆地流行開來。康倫批評很多犬舍肆無忌憚地培育犬種的做法:“他們不是通過培育解決問題,而是通過培育造成問題。每完成一個完美的育種,背后都有很多瘋狂的育種。” |
????7.Labradoodle ????Wally Conron, the breeder who created the labradoodle (a mix of labrador and poodle) in the late 1980s, regrets having created a designer dog craze. Last year he told the Associated Press, “I’ve done a lot of damage...I’ve created a lot of problems...There are a lot of unhealthy and abandoned dogs out there.” ????Conron stopped breeding them 20 years ago, but their popularity has boomed. Conron criticized puppy mills with unscrupulous that breeding practices. “Instead of breeding out the problems, they’re breeding them in. For every perfect one, you’re going to find a lot of crazy ones.” |
