Yeah, it's pretty messed up, isn't it? I hold a special place in my heart for people who breed animals for money, especially those that prefer deformation. Often this ends up with serious health issues for the animals, such as brachycephaly issues, opthalmology problems, the list goes on... I'm not aware of any specific issues with the Munchkins, but I wouldn't be surprised to find problems down the line. Often money-hungry breeders will overbreed to take advantage of a market for "cute" animals. Remember the pot-bellied pig fad? There's a lot of rescue sites for the leftovers after they're no longer cute and cuddly... sigh. [img]graemlins/idontagreeatall.gif[/img] okay, rant over.
