What I have serious issues with are people who are breeding to exploit a genetic trait that might have a serious impact on the animal, like the eyeless turtles seen here in an advertisement and bearded dragons without scales. I can understand why people are passionate about this issue, it doesn't matter who the breeder is or who else might be involved. Dennis- I'm sorry that your ethics have ever been called into question. I may not always agree with you 100%, but you're definitely one of the good guys. |
guess the way some people act in this forum that inbreeding has affected the human race in the area of common sense and metal capacity. What have we here? A group that has somehow morphed into having less brain power then the reptiles. I am deleting this forum from my email as I have better things to do then write or read this kind of ilk-ed literature...

Dennis, I understand what you are saying that line breeding is done all the time, to establish and prove out lines. I also understand that line breeding can be done correctly and incorrectly. I think the main concern as far as the inbreeding that took place to create these animals is that the gene pool for dragons is already so small that it just can't be good to add to that problem. I think the other concern is that this isn't a simple color morph. This is much more on the lines of a deformity, and people are trying to exploit that. This isn't so much about what everybody else may do, it's that some of us believe doing these things is immoral. |
i just have one more thing to say.do all of you really believe how closely they were bred? look how long it took to get an answer out of them.it was all word games.a certain person has been proved to be a liar in the past.thats all folks

I should add here that this is a conversation that is going on in the bearded dragon community all over the world. If you Google "silkback bearded dragons", you'll see that the people who belong to this forum aren't the only ones a bit disturbed by this development.
On one forum, I actually saw one guy say that all American breeders are crazy for doing things like this, and this morph wasn't created by an American breeder. |

It seems to me that people really, really, REALLY want to find fault with the silkback. So far, all I see is opinions. Some like this morph, and some don't. But so far, there are no FACTS to back up the disgust for this animal. All the questions that can be answered have been answered at this time. So far it seems that the silkbacks are healthy and do not suffer undue distress from their lack of scales. As far as the gene pool being significantly affected by this new morph - I highly doubt it. So can't we all just accept each other's OPINIONS and quit bashing those who have different views from us? Because at this point, I don't see anything factual to fight about.
