I'm not sure how this would have any other constructive purpose other than to bash them. I respect that they aren't for everyone but there are plenty of other posts that I just skip over because it's a species or morph that I find to be "meh" but don't feel the need to go out of my way to tell the owner I don't like them or that they shouldn't exist without real reasoning. If their were legit health concerns that I had witnessed even beyond my initial concerns already discussed than I would agree with you but the fact is they simply aren't there. Being more vulnerable is not a concern when they're in a totally controlled environment that really doesn't even need any modifications beyond feeding ft. For a dog comparison, it's like complaining that most breeds have been altered so much they can't hunt their own food anymore. They don't need to be able to hunt. If you know something about them that I don't already know then I'd be more than happy to hear you out but otherwise I'll enjoy my collection and you can enjoy yours

is not intended as a 'bash', just another opinion. I'll take mine with scales, thanks. (And comparing these to dog breeds for justification isn't much help,
as that's a whole can of worms in & of itself...just because you can, doesn't mean you should...IMO.)
