Does the word "breed" target only for non-human animals?
I've been reading some scientific articles in regular newspapers and some of them uses terms llike "raise" or "bring up" and some others uses "breed" or maybe "breeding". The last two of them were used in a context where non-human animals were bred in habitats like labs or insutrial farms, and the first two were also used for describing such procedures with non-human animals like apes, but usually establishing some kind of parallelism with the human raising procedures.

Are these words equivalent or is there any difference?

Answer

You have the general idea but, as is so often the case with a language there is a  BUT here... although we usually use the term 'breeding,' to talk about the re-production of animals.........

We often say (of people) "He/she is well-bred," by which we mean that they have been brought up well, are polite etc

Answer

Essentially, yes. Breeding indicates reproduction for the sake of creating more of the same species, so it is generally used for animals in some kind of controlled environment or parameter (like genetic selection). We would use it for cattle (breeding cattle for meat) or horses (breeding horses for racing) or pets (a purebred dog).

Answer

You are correct.  If you say you are going to breed someone, then it is considered derogatory.  Use it only for scientific context for reproduction. If aliens were to exist, then using this word is OK.
