The main complain about breeding is that animals dissapear in some time... if jeb made them breed by themself once in a while ( like rarely, to make it better to breed them yourself than just naturally ) animals will duplicate by breeding, no more nonsense with animals spawning from a torch, THIS IS GOING TO SOLVE ALL OF OUR PROBLEMS!
Someone tweet jeb, doctorseaweed2´s post has to be the most smart contribution to this thread so far!

That's silly. Why bother? Natural animal breeding is basically the same things as random spawning, except more annoying, because you're gonna end up with areas that are dominated by one animal while others are extinct. And if you accidentally kill too many animals they will breed to slowly or not at all. Hunting still won't be much of an option.
Does anyone really want such an annoying system? No, he should just bring back the old system of having animals spawn like every other creature. Then there will be a good variety of animals that will naturally regenerate over time. For persistent animals, use collars like the way wolves work. THAT will solve all problems.
From reading this whole thread, it appears that the majority are in favour of animal breeding. Why does the poll say otherwise, when it was said multiple times in the thread that 'yes' has more votes than 'no'?
Currently it says that 'no' has more votes, unless there is a problem on my end.

It's simple:
The OP reversed the 'Yes' and 'No' poll titles when he saw that he had lost.
I can clearly remember the 'yes' poll option being first, and even the OP at one point gets mad at how many more yes votes there were than no votes, and mentions that there were more yes votes in posts #33 and #45.

How can you seriously suggest that hunting is harder and more fun. With hunting you just run around like an idiot hitting an animal with a sword. Not very hard. With breeding you have to actually build an entire farm and then manage livestock. That's more of a challenge and more rewarding.
But while hunting you always have a threat of getting lost,a mob attacking you from a cave
Animal breeding is fine, there's nothing wrong with this feature. It should be kept in, but...
I HATE the new spawning system for animals. It's bad because it essentially FORCES you to breed animals. Animal breeding is a nice option, but you shouldn't be forced to use it if you want to have any animals.
With the old spawning system, the old way of getting animal drops was to go out hunting. You could do this whenever you wanted since animals respawned. Now, hunting is no longer an option.
My question is: why not? Sure, hunting gives you unlimited animal drops, but it takes time to walk around and find them... breeding also gives you unlimited animal drops, and it does it faster, but requires more setup and maintenence. There's absolutely no reason why we shouldn't be able to have both options.
But there's other reasons why the new spawning system for animals is bad:
1. It's inconsistent with how other things spawn. Monsters are not persistent, they still spawn around your location. Why are animals persistent and monsters not? Not to mention that some kinds of animals, squid and wolves, still use the old spawning system. Wouldn't it make more sense if every creature in the game spawned the same way?
2. It creates unintended annoying consequences. The main one being the animal sea problem which we currently have. Isn't it annoying to look out at the surrounding ocean and sea animals floating around everywhere? It's silly and an eyesore. Not to mention incredibly annoying to go around cleaning these animals up.
3. Animals can kill themselves or disappear on their own. If they fall into some deep holes, swim away, or accidentally kill themselves from falling damage, too bad sucker... that's one less animal you're most likely not getting back.
4. It is most likely causing more lag than the game needs to, simply because of the increased amount of things it has to keep track of.
Honestly, the way persistent animals were implemented was the wrong way from the start. Minecraft is a game that's not set up very well for persistent ANYTHING. Not animals nor monsters. The only way a creature should ever become persistent is with player interaction... the way wolves work right now is perfect. This is the way all farm animals should have worked too, simply put a collar on them and they become persistent. There's a precedent for this sort of system, so it's baffling that Mojang decided to make ALL animals persistent despite having already thought up a good system for wolves.
So yeah, this thread is about the wrong thing. It's not breeding that's the problem... it's persistent animals, and the fact that we are FORCED to use breeding that's the real problem. I wish people would realize this.
It's simple:
The OP reversed the 'Yes' and 'No' poll titles when he saw that he had lost.

From the OPs post #45 on page 3:
So, the OP is wanting us to believe that since Tuesday, the 'no' votes have jumped from 14% to 68%, and the 'yes' votes have dropped from 85% to 32%.
The reason I switched the poll was because I was getting so many rude comments. I started this topic to see everyone opinion on this matter. I like to hear people's opinions but people were getting rude.

The mistake you made with this thread, is that your solution to the animal breeding problem was a demand that Mojang just reverse course and remove animal breeding. Your title even states:
Animal Breeding Is Annoying
This Needs To Be Taken Out Of The Game
Who could possibly take this topic seriously with a title/description like that? If you wanted a serious discussion about animal breeding versus the previous spawning mechanism, why not just have an unbiased and less incendiary title like this:
Animal breeding versus spawning
Please vote and discuss the good and bad points of each.
Now that is a discussion that could have been taken seriously and respected by most everyone on this forum.
Edit: Another mistake I see lots of topic posters make is starting a new topic assuming that they speak for the majority. If you are going to start a topic, be prepared to discover that your opinions may not be as popular as you think.
You know, i was actually thinking you could be correct with your arguments of animals become really rare after some time, but now you lost my respect, GTFO and never come back.

I have noticed how annoying and pointless animal breeding is. I liked it better when animals spawned and you didn't have to worry about killing animals. I liked in beta where you could just walk around and not worry about animals not respawning. It takes a big aspect out of the game. In my opinion, this needs to be fixed before biomes. It is annoying and it takes a big thing out of the game. I think we can all agree with this. I like a lot of things they added in 1.0 just not the animal breeding.
Louis Pasteur put that baby to bed back in 1859. Minecraft has caught up to the fact that there's no such thing as Spontaneous Generation. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_generation) This is a good thing.
Grab 2 of every type of animal, make a wheat farm, grow your farms a tad bit, kill everything else.
I don't see a problem here. On top of the fact that farming is probably one of the best installments of the game in my opinion. You guys complain about everything only because you don't like playing the game in terms of strategy and effort, you play based on god knows what.
If you're talking about smp just live off of bread and shut up.

I was thinking random animals mating in the wild would make too many but I like this idea. Maybe the moon phases could affect the 'seasons', the day after the night of that moon phase anyways.
This... would...SOLVE EVERYTHING.

ACtually, that's the grammatically correct way of doing it.

He has now reversed it back to what it originally was, with the 'yes' answer on top.
Anyone who voted in the past few of days should consider deleting their vote and re-voting.

Yeah, now NO has like 100 votes, which is just people that thought it was YES.
