Actually, in Darwin’s Origin of the Species it states:
“If in the future, by some natural design, an entity appears on a screen to another or many named Doctor Stochastic, let him not reproduce for this reason ". Origin of the Species pp667

Seems to me that the statement " but excepting in the case of man himself, hardly any one is so ignorant as to allow his worst animals to breed." shows exactly what he means.
