Some fates are worse than death.
Obviously, there are $10 normals under excellent care, and $1000 morphs enduring horrible circumstances, but the better chances are not with the normal.
I breed milk goats, but only sell surplus goats to people who want the animal for meat, and will butcher right away. Since this happens rarely, I usually end up having the animal butchered for our freezer. The standard of care around here is poor, and I won't risk putting a goat in a home that provides inadequate shelter, low quality feed, no hoof trimmings, no wormings, inadequate mineral supplements, and have it penned with bigger horned goats it would be defenseless against.
...a harsh stance for sure, but I've seen too many sad situations.
