@ChrisK:
Mutts are animals of the same species where clearly defined distinct long-term breeding lineages have been crossed.
Hybrids aren't mutts.
Calling a hybrid a hybrid isn't "calling a turd" something else. It's using the correct scientific term in an unbiased way to describe a particular animal. Feel free to leave biased (either for OR against) and incorrect terminology at the door, this isn't the place for it.
I'm no fan of the various short-tailed python hybrids I've seen, and you won't see me getting excited about someone pursuing that project. I just prefer to see correct terminology applied, especially when someone is trying to say that the correct terminology is "incorrect".
