I think you should look around yourself and see who your PLAYERS are now. Has anyone called or emailed Dachiu or the breeder from Rome and found out any FACTS or are you just ASSuming again? Sounds like just another personal attack on one certain breeder because the AV thread did not pan out 100% YOUR way.

Webslave--"Bobby, you have apparently become a loose cannon. Ever since your rep took a hit with the adenovirus fiasco, you are looking for a target, ANY target, to try to regain face."
From what I see, looking at the various forums, is another angle for bobby and others to attack Dachiu on. Who has who's nose up your butt now, Cheri? Still licking your wounds, Bobby? AV is a dead subject, so now it's time to move on and attack silkbacks and leatherbacks? Or is this all just to target Vicki?
Is AV a dead subject? Its not where I live, and hopefully other people also strongly disagree with you on this. Animals are still dying as a result of AV, so just because people aren't talking about it openly doesn't mean its forgotten.
I don't think this is an "attack" on anyone. Someone asked what people think of this morph, and people gave an opinion.
The question seems to be if Breeders may go to far sometimes in creating something "new" or "different", particularly if that "new or different" trait seriously alters the animal or its genetics. Are we creating Frankensteins, with unforeseen health problems and complications?
Any good industry is capable of self-policing and deciding for itself what it reputable. People are going to discuss these issues and they'll decide for themselves or collectively what the industry will tolerate and how far is to far.
Oh, and since it came up, I AM a Democrat.
Sadly, these poor animals are the result of some kind of cruel laboratory experiment irresponsible breeders created....*sigh* What next....
