Is this ethical?

Selectively bred, not genetically engineered. I accept that doesn't make some of the 'modern' breeds acceptable.

Still, a chihuahua is a long way from its wolf ancestor and they were used as hunting dogs apparently.

Conceded.

Dogs are strange in that you can selectively breed them to such extremes.

A neighbour a few years ago had two, they wouldn't come near anybody but if your back was turned they were very adept at nipping ankles and scarpering.

Gimme a labrador anytime.

No no no, they are completely nuts. My ex's mother had one, she went on holiday and the other sisters got the local farmer to shoot it

Example, Easter Sunday at the farm, all the kids etc. Zoe (the nutjob dog), is outside and captures a rabbit and proceeds to eat it while it's still alive in full view of all the kids who're screaming 'Zoe's eating the Easter Bunny'.

Was kinda horrifying watching the dog eating the rabbit from the back end while the front is still trying to run away. Hardly a Kodak moment.

Oh fook. Hope the kids were not in therapy for too long?

Hyenas do that of course - go for the soft bits and screw whether the animal is still alive whle they are munching
