I read this and I cant disagree more, I think it purely ones own opinion, has nothing to do with animal cruelty, that's like saying 2 normal people give birth to a dwarf/little person, they should kill it so it cant reproduce the genetic of dwarfism if that's a word < lol, or to save the person the cruelty of living as a small person? or people should not love that person based only on the fact they are small, and overlook there qualities and personality, people should just move on and find something they like in a regular size body, this also has to do with millers post just ofter yours as well where he agrees, its the same with dwarf snakes, I Love retics, I love how they are known to be the most intelligent snakes, very alert, they are my favorite, I happen to own a dwarf retic and I love her very much and I take perfect care of her and enjoy her just the way she is, I don't think by me keeping her its cruel in anyway, so what she wont hit 20 feet, and has pretty much topped out at 11 or so, I don't think shes suffering from the cruelty of someone breeding her. I do agree with what you said about the breed generally being smaller as the year pass, just like you said everyone breeds smaller snakes to keep it legal to own ie why I got a dwarf. and over time snakes will be released in areas they can survive in breed out and inevitably the species will be smaller, but it has nothing to do with cruelty imho, just my 2 cents.
