ORIGINS: Question For Biologists

My question for the biologists is as follows:

Now that mankind is affecting the genetic makeup of certain crops,
livestock and pets, would an evolutionist consider that to be intelligent
design, or natural selection? In other words, are we intelligently designing
organisms to match a desired goal using evolution as a pathway, or are the
organisms evolving under natural selection because they better match a
biological niche within environmental pressures?
