The purpose is so the origins of an animal can be quickly traced back if that animal is found to have a infectious disease that could possibly threaten the food supply, Decker said.

 The Blog | Russell Shaw: "Planet's Funniest Animals" TV Show: Exploitive, Cruel and NOT Funny | The Huffington Post
In the pantheon of animal rights abuse, showing a confused hamster spinning round and round, a dog chasing his own tail or a domesticated pig pushing a toy wagon doesn't rise to the same level of cruelty as wearing fur or raising chickens in tiny enclosures where they step on their own shit.
So many animals we see are kept in ridiculously cramped conditions, and then develop behaviors to compensate for the lack of variety in their surroundings.
But I do agree with you on the wild animals; it's heart wrenching to know the reason regular folks can take video of bears, deer or raccon is because their housing development sits on what used to be old growth forest and their habitat.

 Genetic Engineering Short Article
Proponents of the technology assert that transgenic animals, animals that have been genetically altered through the introduction of another plant's or animal's genes, may one day help solve many of our modern day problems in life, from starvation and ill health, to environmental degradation and the modern extinction crisis.
By engineering these animals to release these and other proteins in their milk, the mass production of high quality therapeutic drugs is made less costly, easier to manufacture, and at the expense of fewer animal lives than what was formerly the case.
Animal rights advocates also argue that each species should enjoy an inherent, natural right to be free of genetic manipulation in any form.

 Planet Ark : Canada expands seal cull as environmentalists fume
OTTAWA - Canada increased sharply the number of seals that can be culled over the next three years yesterday, dismissing protests from environmentalists who say this will have a devastating effect on the seal population.

The seal hunt, which usually begins in mid March in the Gulf of St Lawrence and continues for another two months, is by far the largest cull of marine mammals in the world.

 "Shelter Dogs" A Disappointment - But Still Worth Watching
The film, in fact, leaves the viewer with the impression that there is only one choice shelters have, to take animals in and kill them.
The film clearly suggests that this is the point of view of Sternberg, which is probably one of the reasons she comes off as an emotional shell of a human being who is, perhaps, all too ready to end the life of a pet.
On the subject of no-kill shelters the film makes only one statement, that dogs that are "unadoptable" are either killed, or they live the rest of their lives in a cage, which, of course, is not true.
