Many members here preach about putting the animal first, and thinking about the wellbeing of the animal over money and personal desires. Then the same members breed a morph of BP with known genetic issues. I know most spiders live a perfectly normal life, but the fact is people breed them for personal or financial reasons and pretty much overlook the wobble/spin issues they have. To me, that isn't putting the animal first. I am not trying to stand on a pedestal, because a spider is one of my most desired morphs, and I will own and hopefully breed them some day. But I'm willing to admit that if/when I do breed spiders it will be more my interests in play than the wellbeing of the animal. I knowingly accept that spiders will have issues, but accept it for my own benefit. I may get flamed for saying that, but anyone breeding spiders is doing the same thing.
Am I wrong? Is it possible to continue to breed a morph with known genetic issues, and still claim to be putting the animals interests first?
