In this case, I never hear the word "bred" outside of animals and said degenerates

I agree with you but, like I said in my other comment, it seems to be a regional thing, and is normal elsewhere.

But, yeah, depending on where you are it can totally apply to degeneracy and animals only, like you said. I think people are going a bit hard on you; both sides are right, in this case. It's just regional.
