Well, don't most animals give birth ok, but some end up needing C-sections just like people? And C-sections are not done just because the baby's head is too large for the birth canal. Sometimes, in the case of my two year old grandson, the cord is wrapped around the neck and the baby does not move down the birth canal. My daughter had to have a C-section when Elliot started to show signs of fetal distress. Thank God they did the C-section. The cord was wrapped around his neck twice. He would have died without the C-section.

Look... This isn't about occasional medical procedures or c-sections... this is about the FACT that there are many breeds, bulldogs, teacup poodles, perhaps others, that have been bred with structural faults that make it nearly impossible to reproduce naturally.
Breeding & Whelping, Bulldog Reproduction
They have selectively bred a freak of nature.

The person we were talking about was speaking specifically about breeding Bulldogs. Track it back, and maybe what I said will make more sense to you.
