Oh, I have nothing against them. That's just my outlook on how I classify/refer to things.

Most of the locality animals do have geographic barriers that separate groups and result in unique phenotypes.

While I think it is important to keep some pure stock, even in morphs, I do not totally have a problem with cross locales and cross subspecies. As long as they are properly represented, and there was some specific reason for the breeding.

Someone that had say an Amarali for a pet and an Occidentalis for a pet and just kept them together and they had babies, I'd have a problem with that. Maybe it is hypocritical, but unless there is some reason I don't see the point. Generally this leaves me accepting crosses for morphs, but nothing else.

Since morphs are allready separate from natural lineage, crossing say a Leopard and a Blood I could see. Why? Because there are no Leopards and Bloods of the same locale.

I happen to like Bateaters, Carpondros, the Wall, Coma, Carplots etc. LOL
