Re: Line breeding vs hybridization

From: "Wilbert Hetterscheid" hetter at worldonline.nl> on 2001.06.24 at 00:24:19(6857) I think what we have here is again the awareness that messing around with objects that originally came from the wild, will eventually lead to objects that won't make it in nature. This is why I and a colleague of mine proposed that we also separate the taxonomies of those objects based on different systematic logic of classification of those objects. They are in 2 different contexts ("worlds") and should not be mixed in classifications with different purposes....bla, bla, bla....
