<<<: : Hallelujah! Somebody understands! I think I love you! I've been against inbreeding for years because of its potentially detrimental effects on health and vigor. Too bad many breeders are to superficial to see this. They get so into the coolness of a hatchling with a new color scheme, they cannot see the larger picture anymore. SOme have become so egotistical as to consider themselves junior geneticists. All they really are, are a bunch of modern-day Dr. Frankensteins.>>

I think the pet buying public needs more education concerning this topic.
Show of hands: How many women (or men for that matter) would actively seek an albino as a mate and then encourage his or her future children to mate each other or mate back to their father or mother?
Pets deserve the same consideration. William
