Quote, Paraphrase, and Citation #5

"In recent years the increase in the number of reports of animals being born with genetic defects has almost tripled. Scientists state that the deformities could be caused by several factors including inbreeding, parasites and pollution that permeates the skin."

The deformities found in animals are not only caused by mixing up the breeds of the animals. Most of the deformities found in baby animals at birth, are the genetic traits of their parents who were inbred themselves. So if you really think about it, deformities found in animals are caused by the hands of man.
