Gibber Italicus Canary

The infamous Arabian mare Namusca.

In her breeder's defence, they've always said she had a legit birth defect (foals love getting tangled in womb, this one got a foot stuck over her snoot and dented it) but was genetically sound so they still bred from her. The scary thing is the people who saw this and were OMG goals. Eg

Fancy pigeon breeding can be pretty horrifying. The first one that come to mind is American Fantails whose bred so their heads sit above their ass. Their skeletons are deformed like that and they have extreme difficulty moving or eating.

The first time I saw photos of these birds I thought they were statues or taxidermies. To find out they were photos of living birds who are bred to contort like that was a horrifying realization. The posts were from tumblr, but they nevertheless puts into perspective how fucked up these pigeons really are: https://archive.ph/mVUSv

Some highlights:

i’ve seen these birds at shows. they can barely move and they jump at every noise because they cannot see what could be coming at them. they’re either skittish or completely shut down, and watching them try to get food is just heartbreaking (they have to turn sideways and swing their head down their tail to peck at their seed. i don’t know how they even manage to drink). sometimes when the try to walk to their food they nearly fall over because their tip-toes stance is what they’re like a majority of the time and their fan is heavy enough that they can barely support it with such delicate balance

anyone who has been around pigeons for any stretch of time knows that they are intelligent, social birds. they rely on nodding to communicate a large portion of their language, and guess what an American Fantail can’t do?

One poster owns a less deformed version of the bird but it still couldn't eat properly until his beak was trimmed. When introduced to other, normal pigeons they were so wary and cautious of him because his stature was so fucked up he can't even demonstrate normal pigeon body language.

Their breeders brag about how difficult they are to produce and raise in terms of “only the most advanced can cultivate these”.

They are in it solely for the challenge of shaping the birds.

Those pigeons are living modern art.

That is literally all they are to the people who raise them.

Statues made of flesh, whose breeders see themselves as the most highly skilled of sculptors.

I forgot about the horror that is the Gibber Italicus Canary. This bird is created from intensive inbreeding of South Dutch Frill Canaries. They originated from Southern Italy and are considered "rare", most people who do want them want them for their posture. They have short life expectancy, inbreeding depression and usually die before they hatch. I couldn't find much information on how they eat, but I imagine it would be difficult as they always look like they're about to fall off the perch.

Few more generations and this is gonna be a common sight amongst canary breeders.

What they do to dogs is smalltime compared to what they do to fish, I could post telescope eyes or other fucked up goldfish morphs but I think most people know about them. Goldfish have a natural lifespan of about 20-40 years depending on how warm you keep them. Fancy goldfish rarely reach 10 due to their SMASHED and SLAMMED physiques. But the trend has spread to other fish including monsterfish, here's a Bichir

Funny how it also looks like a fucking frog, the toad phenotype is strong. They do the same thing to arowanas and a lot of other fish, just look up "short bodied" plus any fish's name.

that would work well as a kaiju

Pretty thin competition for funny on this thread. The strongest feeling I get here is that these animals should be humanely euthanized and their breeders should be  inhumanely euthanized.

Rumor has it (source long gone) there was a sibling to this horse with a very similar defect. Namusca had several very nice foals, none of which have the facial defect, and she is nicely built apart from the head, and a beautiful mover.

Then there's the stallion Magnum Psyche, another "extreme" Arabian who had plastic surgery on his neck to prevent cribbing / thin out his pre piously coarse throatlatch, depending who you listen to. That's not the only horse owned by Midwest Arabians to undergo such treatment. He was a very popular sire.

Have we discussed scaleless reptiles? Because I just saw a picture of a scaleless garter snake that really pissed me off. Scales are very important for burrowing snakes, otherwise any stray branch or sharp rock could easily cut them. Probably not the worst offenders though

Spoiler: Silkback

What makes this morph particularly horrible is that bearded dragons are from the outback, they require very hot basking spots and a lot of UV. But without scales this can very easily burn their skin. This is one of those "cosmetic" reptile morphs that is just obviously, inherently abusive. It's funny because some of the defenders of the industry cite silkback bearded dragons as one of the shining examples of how the industry can self regulate. Most shows ban them, 'reputable' breeders don't breed them, but you can still easily find them. Like most scaleless morphs they also have problems with shedding (especially around the eyes), dehydration, increased vulnerability to infections, fungus, basically everything that the scales are there to fucking keep out.

The mutant puppies already break my heart, but the mutant pigeons and these poor creatures make me crash into slumber
This looks like the kinda shit you see in a fictional mad bioscientist's lab They look miserable as all fuck too. And I'm fairly sure those legs weren't naturally featherless....(if you have ever seen a canary having a mental breakdown you know what I mean)

And I really don't want to think what happens to the really defective "stock" they would never show in social media. Legit humane breeders probably get a few sad cases from time to time even working with prime genetic material and good conditions, I can't imagine the nightmares with those extreme breeds that are practically unfit for life when they turn out "right".

Honestly, I haven't seen a single example where those breeds are better looking or more practical than non-meme breeds. But even to people who consider them better or cuter or whatever, it's only a recipe for heartbreak. Even if your pet is ugly as fuck you'll get attached (unless you are a fucking psycho**) and I can't imagine it being a happy time if your pet is blind/deaf/braindead, needing regular surgery or visibly suffering.

**Yes I know there are lots of people that abandon the puppy when it's not cute anymore. But I've also seen lots of the examples of the opposite, and the bad apples turn out to be assholes to humans as well, so yeah, fucking psychos.

I have seen more and more people get burned out of keeping pets, at least that type of pet. Usually it goes that you deal with as long as you have that animal, put in all time, money and worry you can, but when you don't, death or giving it away, the exhaustion and grief sets in. It can hard say this not worth during, you love that animal and don't want feel like an assahole, but afterwards it's much easier to come that conclusion. I have seen it more with news, social media and even personal experience.

My thing was honestly light end. I took a kitten from a well run local shelter. He was found alone wandering in middle of the town but was very young and friendly so they not that good idea where he came from. Still he was healthy apart from ear mites that got treated before he came to me. Well as he grew that turned up not being true. Not that they had anyway to tell at time that cat developed asthma, grain allergies and overly waxy ears that needed regular cleaning. Him to not being alright was very clear and it was alot work to figure out how I could treat him. Outside that he was regular cat that loved human interaction, he learned so many tricks because of that, was really good at charming people who didn't like cats because he announced coming over with centle noices and sit next to you, made himself a outdoor cat and so on. Then he very suddenly died young, about 5 years old. It was heard breaking, I put so much in that cat and it didn't really work. That made me extremely careful about getting an healthy animal when I was ready for another pet.

I believe this thread is indeed the place. We’ve had cats and other animals pop up before. I’d be very curious to hear about the horse breeders. I knew arabs had to be fucked but I don’t know much about any other breeds that are falling victim to this kind of shit.

Ok I know I'm very late but if anyone has any personal horse stories, please share. I have no personal experience irl in the horse buying/selling market because im not rich, but I like horses and learning/ researching about horse breeds just for fun... And you're right, arab horses in particular look so gross.
On instagram I see accounts posting them (like photo accounts where they post other people's horses, not sellers. Just enthusiasts I guess?) And they'll post this shit

with the caption "beautiful Arab horse mixed breed at a horse show, such a majestic beast~
c: @horse.genesplicer69.official "

I haven't looked into it an further until now but I think I should start. Because horses are already exceptional animals even at their best health. Horses are like a mass of pure muscle being held up by 4 toothpicks.. They speedrun life compared to other animals since they're fast, and strong enough to break bones and kill, but they're pussies scared of their own shadow and will also drop dead if they so much break their ankles (which happens a lot).

I'm curious but also terrified to know just how bad you can fuck up a horse via incestual retard breeding...
Edit: I scrolled down, I've been enlightened... unfourtunately

 

[Caesare]

The fans of this mutation are trailer trash who insist that because the dogs have blue eyes and slight pigmentation they're not AT ALL albinos, thus all your arguments are invalid. Meanwhile they trade tips on light sensitivity (the dogs squint ALL THE TIME if they're forced to go outside, and the behavior problems from being nearly blind yet bred to bbe alert and vigilant. It's a shitshow.

That's so depressing.

Just buy normal animals. Stop breeding and buying freakshow pets that weren't meant to be.

You know what this is all about? People who wanna be special because they have something that no one else has.

"Sure, my dogs underweight, half blind, shivers all day and vomits at the drop of a hat, but he's so unique and no one else has one like mine."

It's gross, self centered behavior. I wish they'd stop already. It is completely sociopathic to seek out animals like this. To have a pet who's life is constant misery and torment so you can look cool.

Very hatable.

Goldfish have a natural lifespan of about 20-40 years depending on how warm you keep them. Fancy goldfish rarely reach 10 due to their SMASHED and SLAMMED physiques.

Some fancy goldfish, like fantails, orandas or ranchus usually aren't too deformed and can have normal lives if they're well cared for. It's particularly the competitively bred ones that are SMASHED and SLAMMED into organic golf balls, barely capable of swimming or functioning and with a head that looks like a deformed strawberry. But obviously, varieties like pearlscales or bubble-eyes are inherently cruel (as well as repulsive, why would people like an animal that has it's eyes out of it's orbits?).

The good thing (or at least when I used to be into reptiles) in Australia was that we did not go overboard with breeding mutations and other fucked up shit like that like they do in America.
Pretty much all the reptile breeders I spoke to were all against stuff like that and wanted to keep the snakes looking nice but as natural as possible.

Yeah the "fancy" goldfish thing is kind of a spectrum, really depends how bad you smash up the body, fantails and shubunkins have more in common with common goldfish than a lot of the other fancies in terms of body layout. I think the fucked up fancy body shapes also created the rumor that stunting is inherently cruel to goldfish because their organs keep growing while their body doesn't, which is only the case for slammed fancies who are forced to pack full sized organs in a half sized spherical body.

Also I just don't understand bubble eyes, moreso than any fancy goldfish morph. Who buys them? I can honestly say I've never seen them outside of petstores and shows, not in a casual aquarium, not in a fish room. There is no aesthetic appeal unlike a lot of the other smashed fancies, it's like a pure body horror fish and they always look like they're living in constant existential terror.

There are some communities that take that tack, mostly the ones where we can't get new imports (dart frogs, australian shit, new caledonian geckos other than cresties/gargs which breed like rabbits anyways). For the most part species that are relatively cheap and easy to breed attract a lot of morphfaggotry.

There’s also the celestial eye goldfish, similar to bubble eyes except with their eyes pointed upward.



Another ugly, deformed looking type of fish is the flowerhorn. They first become popular in parts of Asia because their head shape was thought to represent good luck. Discarded flowerhorns have multiplied in some Asian waterways, where they’re considered invasive.



Some betta types like rosetails have such exaggerated fins that they impair the betta’s mobility. Betta in general are treated poorly, Pinterest is full of pictures of them languishing in vases and other DIY abominations.

I keep a few bettas and the long finned ones suck vs the more natural plakat ones. They need super slow moving water so I had to hook spray bars up to all my filters and turn down the flow, also they are dumb as hell and will tear their fins on anything so you have to like take a panty hose and run it on any wood and rocks in the tank to test and see if it will hurt them. Also sometimes they will get stressed and rip their own fins off in the store

[Pukebucket]

I could almost be convinced that people who love these completely useless, squashed down flat-faced dogs and cats awkwardly stumbling around with tiny legs and need constant supervision and care 24/7 for their digestive troubles and snot production so they don't die in their sleep would be a lot happier just opening a daycare.

Of course, these people are already morally bankrupt to begin with to play Dr. Moreau's Island in their own back yards, so maybe it's a blessing that they don't.
