Yes! I've consciously decided to learn to like many things in life that I used to hate, because they are good for me. I see no reason to assume animals aren't capable of the same. It just takes time.

How does this pattern of thought not lead to eugenics?

"A set of beliefs and practices that aim to improve the genetic quality of a human population"?

That just describes sexual selection in general. Of course you think with your big head when choosing a mate, not the small one that's easily fooled.

You make it sound like choosing good genes for your offspring is evil or something.
