Best Answer

The reason people set up rare breed centers is to preserve the breed and hopefully one day send the animals back to the wild. They're usually for injured or cast off members so that they can heal and don't die in the wild. There are reservations, however, that have animals that are perfectly well, this is so that the animals can be studied and preserved.

Humans have bred animals for thousands of years. During that time needs have changed. For example, tastes in meat have changed, and customers nnow prefer to buy lean meat rather than fatty meat. Because of changes like this, many breeds are no longer farmed commercially. However. they may still have useful genes, which we might want to use in the future. Such genes may make them resistant to harsh weaher conditions or disease. To make sure these genes do not die out, and are available for breeding in the future, rare-breed centres have been set up around the country to conserve these animals.
