broken animals

One dog forgot how to dog. The other one has some of the worst self esteem I've ever seen in a dog.

Most cats try to show how tough they are to intimidate others. This poor cat tries to show its too malfunctional to mess with.

You're looking at a cat that's made a lot of poor choices in life. 

Hair trigger. Nuff said. 

When you were a kid, your parents told you not to feed wild animals for exactly this reason. They gave this guy an apple and hundreds of generations of instinct for survival gets trumped by instant domestication. 

Now, not only do we need to be aware of bags left unattended because of suspicion of a bomb inside, we need to be aware that raccoons will steal your upholstery and carpets.

This is a little like being afraid of gloves because someone punched you once. 

It's possible it just smells where he's at, but easier to believe that he's pure evil. Snore. Evil. Snore.

This little fella was found dead waiting at a bus stop, because he didn't have exact change. Also, it's really hard to start over in an environment that doesn't support your kind of life. 

Playing dead is a symptom that you have no coping skills. When animals do it, it's not like too much TV made them dopey. Countless generations of evolution led to this as the best survival tactic? Fail. Broken.

Terraphobia is the fear of the ground. You should read that twice to let it sink in. Can you imagine living your whole life like it's a game of Lava? 

Your porcupine is such an only-child that it actually learns to talk, just to tell you how bad it doesn't want to share it's pumpkin with you. It should be laying broken on a psychiatrist's couch. 

It's always dispiriting to see animals broken and sold into servitude. This poor Brazilian Piranha is no different than a bicycle riding bear in a Soviet circus. 

Look out! This tortoise has a taste for children, and nothing to hold him back.

How to break a cat in one easy step. Ingredients: some kind of clip. 

This is possibly the most broken animal we've yet featured. Nuff said.
