No genetic engineering? Feeew. Thanks heaven.

The breeders will not be forced to prove beyond any reasonable (and unreasonable) doubt that their kittens are completely, utterly and permanently safe to all and every being on earth.

Now, they can safely put for sale their scratching, spitting, peeing and pooping diabolical balls of furry destructive power. No militant in moonsuit will come to destroy them.
