Not Asking anything just making a statement

[fowltemptress]

You are sweet and I don’t feel bad but I still disagree with you. Your video is a girl (with no degree in Biology) who has done limited research and is misrepresenting the results because of her limited genetic understanding, in my opinion, based on her genetic vocabulary, numbers, and conclusions.

With that same reasoning let’s get rid of Jumbo Pekins. They are bred, intentionally, with a mutation which makes them grow extra large and fast. They are bred that way so they are ready to be eaten faster. But, when we keep them as pets they often have leg issues. In the wild, being white and huge, they wouldn’t survive as long as a crested ducks. I’m sure know you can’t believe everything you see on the internet. Btw, my BS is in Biology, I teach AP Biology, and I enjoy a good argument. We can have different opinions and still be friends. I do think you are pretty awesome for caring so much!

The difference is jumbo pekins are meant to be eaten at a relatively young age. Like a lot of agricultural veterinary science, there's not a lot of incentive to study health issues in our agricultural animals beyond what it takes to get them on our plates and to get the next generation of supper table occupants. There's a case to be made about the questionable morality in this, but it's fairly safe to say deleterious traits bred in the name of feeding a population is a far cry from purposely breeding harmful traits because people think it's "cute." A better comparison might be between a pug dog and a crested duck, but I'll stifle my opinions on that particular animal lest my pug loving best friend hurls a frying pan at me.

Sure it is

https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/birthdef...een a typical,because the sutures become bone.Wow, are you really challenging my educational degree? Actually, the human skull bones allow for passage through the birth canal AND brain growth as you can see in that link and the fact that our heads grow as we age. The older I get the more I realize I don’t know everything and can learn from everyone, whether we agree in a particular point or not. Just because I admitted that jmalmitier83 was correct doesn’t change anything about crested ducks. Try to step back from your emotions and examine the information available. You will find that most things that people disagree about aren’t black and white but gray, having two sides. Life would be much easier if everything were good or bad. I just don’t think this issue is that easy. I still like you whether you like or agree with me.

That’s exactly right

Um yes, and my duck isn’t suffering. Your going to need better scientific evidence and data than a girl on YouTube or “you can read it anywhere” if you are going to “just make a statement “! Did you really not want to discuss your statement?

Thats what we are doing right now

Ok, you’re right, we are both still talking. If you can, I would suggest getting and reading “Unnatural Selection”. It is pretty interesting and she looked at the bones of the animals she discusses. I hope you have a good night. I have to go put my ducks to bed.

We are good. As I said from the start, I like a good debate. Hope your ducks do well.
