My “overbred” creatures are a series of animals that bear the imagined results of domestication pushed to absurdity. The attributes that make them appealing, useful, marketable, and handy for human use are short-sighted and human-centric. They are both strange and familiar, and arouse amusement, sympathy and disgust. It is not impossible to imagine that they may soon come to be, through breeding and bioengineering.
