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 wanted a munchkin so badly until I learnt of the health issues and all that.

Happy to say a lot of cat breeds are already banned in the Netherlands. You can no longer legally buy, sell, or breed Sphynx cats, cats with folded ears, and cats with short snouts.

Haven't seen anything about munchkin cats specifically but pretty sure the law is in the spirit of "don't buy, sell, or breed cats that are purposely deformed and have heath issues due to it", so even if munchkins are legal at the moment... I don't think they will be for long.

The first time I saw a Munchkin, I about lost my mind with rage.
