    There was a French museum that had an exhibition once whose intention was to simulate the way a human settlement used to smell before the advent of sanitation, and it was so bad that schoolkids were literally vomiting, and it had to be closed early.

    Cats are bred like this too, such as the Scottish Fold. They have a genetic mutation that causes problems with bone and cartilage growth, as well as kidney problems. Some countries have already banned their breeding, and it is in my opinion they should do the same for certain dog breeds. They’re not cute if they’re suffering.

        I absolutely abhor pugs and chihuahuas. Pugs because they shouldn’t exist (in their current form). It’d be like an alien breeding people with down syndrome because they found it “cute”. And as for chihuahuas, I just don’t like how tiny and yappy they are, no real logical reason there.
