Since it’s still #ThrowbackThursday elsewhere in the CONUS, here’s a hotrodded Elba skinner I did from my first run in some pretty rad C-Tek scales. Ended up being an auction blade, and still holds up from a design standpoint. That CPM D2 steel is the shit #03MW #03MetalWorks #knives #blades #knifemaker #knifemaking #Embla #Skinner #hunting #skinning #PurposeDriven #SupportTheWarriorClass #STWC #MarineJoe #SaltyAsFuck

Genetics is the most important element in a breeding program, unfortunately it is often overlooked.

If you read my tweet, you’ll read “pointers point and retrievers retrieve” and the reason they do is 100% due to their genetic make up. I’ve yet to see someone get on their hands and knees to teach a dog to point at a quarry, let alone someone jump in the water to retrieve a bird with their mouth only for a dog to see it done. NOPE.
.

It’s been bred into the dog where generations and years later it comes easy for a purpose bred dog to continue to do the job. The same can be said for a true American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) as per UKC (registry) states the breed can show some aggression towards other dogs while showing aggression towards humans is widely shunned. This is a big point of genetics and why some dogs (APBT, Bully’s and Bulldogs) show aggression.
.

Lastly, how genetics have played a role in today’s sight hounds. Many sight hunting dogs don’t do well eating raw feed. Why, they’ve been basically bred to hunt and bring back prey to its human counterpart and not eat it as it was for human consumption and not for the dog.
If you want to ban it because you don’t like it, what is the alternative?
If you have no realistic alternative, you are doing damage to wildlife with your selfish, misguided compassion.
Same as banning zoos.
Sit back, relax, and realize the world is not perfect.
And even if it were, if people are doing no harm, you have no right to tell other people what they can and can’t do. You sure wouldn’t like it if others tried to ban your hobby or lifestyle because they “don’t like it”.
