I wouldn’t blame anyone who thought this happened by accident. Evolution is capable of some amazing (and amazingly fucked up) things.

Hairless cats have always kinda freaked me out, though. At least now I can disguise my ignorant revulsion as an ethical issue, though, so thanks!

ok. you do you. hairlessness is pretty rare in the animal kingdom - hair confers so many advantages, from reducing uv exposure to insulation and style baby, er, camouflage. the people who bred these cats to be this way took generations of selective breeding, and probably in-breeding, to get this specific look.

I think treating animals this way is fucking sick, and cruel. Like I said - you do you.

As justification to why hairlessness is bad; This line's kinda funny comming from a hairless ape who's species dominates the planet...

hairless ape

man I wish I could save money on shampoo and barbers but 'hairless ape' is only hairless by comparison. think they meant completely hairless, like alopecia? or is it just a figure of speech?

hmmmm..... I'll let you figure it out on your own time.

Either way, now I’ll look at them like pugs and frencies, too.

Humans are basically hairless. Are we inbred?

I was asking for data, research, not emotion.

Are we inbred?
