Very sensible opinion i think. Would become a case of better the devil you know.

The more people become aggressively resistant to the idea, the more likely people are to pass things off as pure when they're not. If they weren't going to be persecuted, the primary reason for misrepresenting hybrids would be, I believe, ignorance.

Personally, I'd much rather people cease attacking those who're breeding hybrids. There's nothing you can do about it and by doing so, I believe you're just increasing the likelihood of people misrepresenting animals out of fear.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, which would you prefer, people breeding hybrids and passing them off as 'pure' or people breeding hybrids and passing them off as just that, hybrids?

If people had no reason to hide it, they would likely advertise them as what they are and I think the chances of our 'pure' animals becoming 'tainted' would actually decrease.
