I have seen what dog breeders do, and I'm horrified.
Woke human geneticists 2019: you shouldn't do selection for X, you might get unwanted trait Y. We just don't know, too dangerous!
No nonsense animal breeders: We've been thinking about these issues for >70 years, it's not that difficult.

Yeah, as Hsu notes in the comments here: "you can glean a lot about breeding values (e.g., of plants or livestock) without a complete understanding of DNA or the micro-mechanisms of genetics." https://infoproc.blogspot.com/2011/05/forbidden-thoughts.html?m=1 …

Maybe because the potential negative consequences of genetically engineering humans are far more terrible and profound than the negative consequences of genetically engineering milk cows?
