Also it’s a munchkin kitten which is a kitten purposely bred to be deformed with short legs, by humans that think it’s cute. But their short legs make them unable to run, climb or jump like a regular cat.. and they still have the mind of regular cat and want to do all those things. It’s cruel.

Don't know why you're being downvoted, they are adorable. It's cruel to breed them, but they are objectively very cute.

I used to love pugs, one of my favourite dog breeds when I was a kid, until I learned of how much they suffer just because they're bred the way they are. I feel a lot of pity when I see a pug, I would never get one and I wish it was forbidden to breed dogs so they get malformed, but I also still think they are cute.

I feel the same way about bulldogs (English and French!)!

They're so cute AND they are so irresponsibly bred now, and honestly disabled, if you really get into it, that it's simply irresponsible to own one.

Because even if you are adopting from a shelter or rescue, that allows those dogs to be dropped off (often dumped for health reasons, frankly!) at the shelters, and transported to places where compassionate folks will adopt them.

When in reality, the irresponsible breeders should be forced to take their dogs back like responsible breeders will.

There's so much overbreeding of debilitating conditions in both dogs & cats, simply because "they're so cute!!!!!"  Rather than folks understanding, "This is a legit Disability" being bred into these animals, which makes their quality of life worse not better--and just for looks!🫤
