If the Potion was actively breeding females while in Xavier's collection, then it's not even remotely misrepresenting it to call it a "breeder". Pretty basic stuff, there.

It's not THAT Brandon/Tom chose to breed it, it's WHEN, that is the crux of this issue. If they had practiced quarantine procedures, or even provided a reasonable acclimation period, the situation would likely be very different at this point. If they had followed sensible protocols, and the Potion still died, they might have had a leg to stand on, in demanding reimbursement.

However, they did not do this. As it stands, they chose a course of action that shows a blatant disregard for the Potion's well-being, as well as for their entire collection. If you're willing to take such reckless risks, you better be willing to accept responsibility for the consequences, when they backfire in your face.

I am not even remotely inclined to suggest that the seller offer any kind of recompense. The buyer threatened the seller with a Bad BOI, he showed a complete disregard for the health of both the animals being used as breeders (females) and the male he received; and he didn't have possession of the animal when it was breeding and died.

While he may or may not produce clutches from the pairings already done...if the emotional appeal to "give" them something is successful, then they will have made out like bandits.
