Well, on one hand people are knowingly producing animals with a genetic defect, but on the other hand they still seem to live normal lives as far as eating, breeding, shedding, etc. Based on the ads on KS and Fauna it doesn't seem like too many people have a problem with producing them. I don't think I'd buy one myself even though I would really like to have a bumblebee. Probably just get a pastel woma instead.
