Mind if I expand this to a few more species? Because this phenomenon is fucking abhorrent and terrifyingly popular in seemingly every corner of the earth.
Persian cats are one example, or any flat faced cat breed for that matter. Obvious breathing problems aside, they also suffer from bad dental & eye diseases.
Then you also have Arabian horses that are a whole other league of fucked up.
Morality aside, how anyone finds any of these animals visually appealing is beyond me. They're painfully disgusting to look at, and this is coming from someone who works with "gross" looking animals. Seriously, any normal person looks at these animals and alarm bells immediately ring in their head, so how fucking exceptional must you be to think this is attractive?
