A short, stubby, mis-shapen, super problem feeder... I am not really against hybrids but this is just silly...

Yea...sort of hoping that's a joke. If not, then I wonder what kind of hog it is.

That thing is gross, I hate hybrids. Big thumbs DOWN !!!

I think my feeling about this boils down to one quote from the movie Jurassic Park: "Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

I'm not impressed to say the least.

Way to remove everything great about Both species and replace it with utter crap..

I'm pretty sure that's not a hog cross, but an under developed mandarin rat. It looks dead too.

I doubt this is serious.... It doesn't even look like it has hognose in it. It is just a short, fat, and deformed rat snake.

Well I am Against Hybrids and this is further proof of all the IDIOTS out there just trying to see if they can find another way to make a buck. Some people do the Hybrid thing and justify it by the reasoning that both are found in the same area and it could happen which I will agree is possible but a Manderin with a hog give me a break.

Someone was making light of the anti hybrid stance...

Cindy, most of us had read the thread before we posted and our responses came way before Chad came clean that he had lied about his claiming this was a hybrid.

Chad wasn't making light of the anti-hybrid stuff by his post. He lied about what they had produced in order to get responses, most of which were probably what they were wanting and/or expecting, negative ones. To me, making light of something and duping people to either provoke a negative response and/or to make them look foolish are two entirely different things. There are other and more mature ways to make light of a touchy subject, this was not one of them. I for one am not impressed by the high school antics of Chad and this clearly places him as a person of dubious nature. Unfortunately, Pro Exotics lost some credibility with me for their staff thinking that they can misuse these forums for their childish antics.
