Interbreeding can lead to health issues due to an increased likelihood of inheriting genetic defects from a limited gene pool, and a lack of variation makes populations vulnerable to new diseases.
Interbreeding can cause health problems because there's a higher chance of inheriting harmful genetic defects when gene pool is limited and lack of variation means if a new disease appears, most will be killed by it.
