Re: [AlpacaTalk] BEW
Hi Jim,
What hit a nerve was your implication that I would raise hell if word got out that a sire of mine produced a CA cria. Your implication was that I would either be dishonest about it or that I would try to keep it quiet. That is what hit a nerve.
Your point didn't go over my head at all. I think you made an assumption on my personal ethics, that I objected to. That is what hit a nerve.
In fact, as I said, if I had such a sire, I would remove him from breeding.
But, as it is now, there is no proof as to what causes CA. The study done at OSU could not find a simple recessive genetic cause. Or cluster of genes. So, since there is no known cause, how can we really expect people to cull any animal from the genepool?
A breeder who sent some girls here for breeding has a friend who breeds dachshunds. It is apparently well known in the dachshund breeding world that cleaning with Formula 409 causes CA in dachshunds. So that strongly implies an environmental cause. Possibly with a genetic predisposition... I don't know if that has been shown to be the case.
I guess I object to the assumption some people have, that they know for fact, something, when there isn't the scientific proof. And to assumptions made about my own ethics. I really dislike that.

Heather, Did I hit a nerve?If you took it as an insult, that was my point. You would be very upset if some one named your farm as a producer. What makes you think any other farm would not react the same?Evidently the point went over your head.I would like to direct your attention to an email you sent to me, dated 10/11/08 at 6:10pm, look at the third paragraph, fourth sentence.My comment you are referring to below, was not a reflection on you. It was a POINT that any one that would be named PUBLICLY would get very upset, and start telling the sender, me in this case, they had been insulted.Jim GuerinJimmini FarmYelm, WA
