how weird. I really didn't know they were making animal mutations. It's so weird, the picture reminds me of some sort of monster out of a video game or monster movie or something like that. It's almost very pitiful though. These baby mutations that are alive and not really meant for anything. I'm not about saving lives or anything like that, I'm just imagining how animals, even like humans can simply be outcasts within their own societies.
