I have always figured that most animals in the wild had an annual breeding cycle but wouldn't actually breed every year due to the hardships of the wild....although I could be wrong and of course I suppose in captivity there are no hardships or scarcity of food....still it just feels to me like they should be given breaks at least occasionally or it will be harmful long-termOriginally Posted by Domepiece
The motivation to breed should be out of a love for these animals and their extraordinary potential to create beautiful animals. I dont see alot of what you are talking about as far as "mill" type of behavior as you see it. Im sure their are many people that do this for the wrong reasons but I dont think its common practice among people who actually appreciate these animals (although I'm sure there are plenty of people who just see $ signs). Also in the wild these animals as well as almost every other species on the planet breed annually so I dont see an issue with that as long as they are recovered and healthy to do so. Wonderful topic but Im hoping it only applies to a rare few individuals.
