Can anyone say for sure that they have "pure corns"?



Probably not. Not even if they have wild caught stock, because there have been thousands of animals released from captive collections with all sorts of genetics in them, AND natural intergradation/hybridization does occassionally occur.



However, the fact that one cannot know for certain (short of DNA testing someday) that he has pure corns does not discount that it ought to be the right of someone to try to have them. It just seems to me that once the genepool has hybrid animals introduced therein in large enough numbers, it will be impossible to ever retrieve what some obviously want.



I don't belittle those who want hybrids. I just wish more hybrid breeders would offer me the same courtesy toward what I want in my breeding plans.
