IHS - FBH - Spider Morph Ban & others

[zina10]

I think you’re confusing an event banning certain animals to be sold with animals being banned. Just because those animals aren’t allowed in those specific events doesn’t mean they’ll be banned elsewhere or that any other animals will become banned. You’re not allowed to smoke in many public buildings in the US, but has that caused cigarettes to be banned? No. Because that is not the government, whether state, city, or federal, banning them. It’s privately owned businesses. Same deal here, and conflating the two is fear mongering.

No, I'm not confusing the two. I know its not the same as a general ban. My point was that things such as that get things going into that direction and that people that aren't affected by it may overlook such things UNTIL they become affected (when its an animal they own or desire).

Also, for example, the issues with albino boas has not been eliminated in all those years of trying to do so. Many animals suffered infections or were culled. Still are. Has it "lessened" ? It appears so. Or the animals with the problems aren't making it to the market. To be politically correct, those animals and resulting morphs should also not be bred. Or owned, if one is against suffering through breeding genetic faults..

And still, there are all the other morphs with "issues".

My "issue" is that they simply picked one out. That is being "ignorant" of the big picture.

But its becoming clear that we go in circles and we can just agree to disagree
