As I have said this is an ethics question and I know that ethics are always a hard topic to talk about because many times there is no black and white, but I personally do not know that I would say I would never sell or give away a second grade animal, because if an animal has a slight kink or a long snout or wobble as long as it is not life threatening to the animal I think it could still make a wonderful pet for someone, but please note if the deformity were life threatening I would destroy it. I also know that many people use this hobby as a business and I do not think on a business side many breeders would financially justify keeping every defective animal for life or destroying them.



Please note that this is my stance as of right now and I am open for input on this topic, I encourage people to respond and I would also like to say thank you for not attacking one another on this topic because as I said ethics get hard because many times there is not black and white scenario.
