[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 513682, member: 1233"] it is season one episode 16, creature creations. Some of these poor cats are so crippled that it makes me cry. Even the ones who don't show pain have such challenges. I am FURIOUS with Animal Planet because they say that the breeder is a "renegade breeder" and they do have a vet who says that they are walking just skin with no pad, but they do NOT condemn it and they don't even mention how painful this would be for most cats. They say that the breeder "decided" not to commercialize this "breed" but does continue to have litters from the 2 adult cats who produced the problem. I cannot fathom how painful it would be for a cat to have the added weight of pregnancy on those poor legs. It is truly just sickening. At NO point does ANYONE mention that the animals would spend every day in pain, that every movement has to hurt, and that it is sick. The breeder says that you can't "control" how it will manifest so it could do any of several things. They show many sick and perverse ways that the deformities manifest, and show a cat with severely shortened front limbs jump up onto a bed like it is such a cool thing to watch! The stupid vet that they have talking about it NEVER comes out and says this would be incredibly painful, NEVER comes out and says it is wrong! She said it was EASY to get this, the adult cats had a litter with a mutation and so having more litters meant more cats with that mutation! WTH are they doing? Encouraging fools to do more of it?? I had to fight to not throw up after I watched it, and I went back to see what the vet said and still felt just as sick. I am working through some stuff and part of it is dealing with the constant message that I got growing up because fighting as a hobby was super upsetting to me as a kid. I truly have been told all my life until I met husband that I was 'too sensitive' and reacting like that is just not normal and not how reasonable people act. I think seeing this right now illustrates to ME that the messages I got from my parents are not right and that feeling sick because this sadistic breeding really IS normal. So thanks for reinforcing that I should trust myself and continue working to edit my internal monologue to cut out the koi about being too sensitive. This is SAVAGE and awful and f I did NOT feel sick then I really would have a problem, wouldn't I? [/QUOTE]
