Good post Terry!

Pertaining to your post:

" An art student can "copy" or attempt to replicate a genuine work of art, as an exercise, and perhaps learn more about materials and lighting and brushwork and the rest--and then DESTROY the piece when the exercise is over. "

Unfortunately, the laziness associated with reducing pure species in our hobby, in regards to the unfortunate selfishness perpetuated with breeding hybrids, may be here to stay, as long as mankind, has no regard to others in our hobby, much less, the animal kingdom.

It would be nice to erase the damage done with the lazy and selfish actions of hybrids, but then again, you are dealing with those who only care about a " feel good " mentality, and who have no regard for others.

Oh well, such is life, and the human condition of this earth.
