You may as well say that nature shouldn't be allowed. When farmers first started culling their herds thousands of years ago, they were mimicking nature. Those who were particularly susceptible to disease, became drastically injured or sick, runts, etc, were killed in order not to waste energy and food. It still goes on today.. all over the world; on farms, in forests, savannas, oceans, lakes, rivers, etc. In this scenario, the less "then" 'ideal' dogs would be the ones who really can't survive pulling a dogsled in freezing and subzero temperatures, in the blinding white snow.
