Re: question about ethicality of producing hybrids
when talking about hybrids, i think of "superballs"... i dont think that there is anything wrong with hyrids, but as the other posts before me have said,,, if its done responsibaly.
just from what i know,, and think as of now, a F1 superball doesent look anything like a BP, or a blood,, and the F2's kinda dont resemble eigther one (origional parrents, or F1's) so as long as the "hybrid" stays true (hybrid X hybrid), i couldent see there being a problem with misrepresentation.. BUT,,, when a hybrid is bred back to the origional parrent (blood python/ ball python) the features start to resemble the said parrents, and this is where the trouble might begin..
im all for hybrids, but i can also understand the concerns of those that might be against it. as far as the "ethics" part goes, we keep snakes in out homes, is that ethical? though most of the BP's we have today are C/B, there are alot being exported from Africa, is that ethical? im in no position to talk ethics,, that would kinda be like the pot calling the kettle black.
thanks
