Depends... how retarded? There are people who simply can't take care of themselves due to mental reasons, while all healthy adult animals can.

But from an "intellegence" perspective.
Even then, of course there is the fact that people care about those retarded people. Just how if people found out pets were being stolen and expiermented on people would be outraged even though the same animals are tested on.
Man mental retardation is depressing though. I've volenteered in a developmental center before... stuff like that isn't depressing... but when you see someone out with their retarded child... like a grown man wheeling around their 20-30 year old retarded child in a shopping cart... man the look on their faces. Heartbreaking.
You can tell their childs condition weighs on them, and they're constantly thinking about how this wasn't what they expected and worry about what would happen to their child after they die.
Really sad stuff.
