Many species have been genetically modified so that they cannot survive in the wild. Sheep that need shearing, chickens so fat that they can barely walk, horses so tame that they would be easy prey, etc. Additionally, certain species lost their natural habitats, which would make them invasive if they were to be returned to nature, like cats.

That leads me to my question: what do you think should happen with such species? Should we just sterilize them to extinction? Should we genetically modify them back to their natural state? Should we create new environments for them to exist in? Should we keep them in sanctuaries in perpetuity?

It seems to me that all the options either keep them reliant on humans, or require severe breaking of their bodily autonomy. Is that bad? Is there any good solution?
