And....... Jim and I are both "professionals" that operate daily in the "zoological sphere". I oversee many programs for endangered species where as our "scientific" goal is to maintain genetic sustainability for the next 200 years. At no point is hybridization taken into account. Funny, your own argument was that "purist" are guilty of genetic erosion. I find this odd, as hybridization is the biggest cause of genetic erosion! Outbreeding is a great thing; it keeps genetics from bottlenecking....but within the same species.
I did get a kick out of your opinion. As an "opinion" I can even respect it. Please don't try to dress it up as science. It fails on every level. What you are doing is what I call "the squid tactic". Trying to hide behind a cloud of ink does not make your stand any less venerable.

Chris, Aqua Herp, and everyone else on this page, I am not trying to make this personal. I am just trying to lay out the best scientific argument that I possibly can objectively. And although I do think this conversation is both interesting important to have, I feel bad for Dan because we have strayed way off topic here, he just wants to know about breeding techniques, not our personnel policies regarding breeding animals. Therefore, I ask can we start our own tread to address this question and can we do it professionally, civilly, and objectively ?
