[QUOTE="50/50Farms, post: 1797529, member: 42731"] It's really not so darn much to puzzle over, in my opinion. I have no idea when people started really getting into the mini thing, but I remember seeing a few as far back as 20 years ago. People like novelties, there's a gorillion dogs, cats, donkeys, horses, etc in this country alone that aren't worth a flip other than for looking at or maybe getting a little light use out of them. The people who like the minis want cute pets they can eat one of every now and again. I don't believe they're going to contaminate the gene pool, especially not if the people worried about it are vigilant. There's a few "producers" of minis out there that might bump up the numbers in circulation, but that's akin to the dudes with 10 German Shepherds that they train and breed out of; they're still making a niche thing that will end up in the same types of hands 9 out of 10 times.
