(sociology, biology) A social philosophy or practice which advocates the improvement of human hereditary qualities through selective breeding, either by encouraging people with good genetic qualities to reproduce (positive eugenics), or discouraging people with bad genetic qualities from reproducing (negative eugenics), or by technological means.
No, it's not. Concepts of race and disability don't apply to selective breeding in animals. Policies of eugenics involve controlling humans and human behavior.
They're misusing the word to try to draw a false equivalence between selective breeding in animals and crimes against humanity like mass sterilization programs of oppressed peoples and genocides.
There's a subset of vegans who love to do this shit.

Yes. You can't detach the concept of eugenics from humanity and human society.
