the problem with not defining terms is that no one is interpreting it the same way, and therefore a lot of pointless debates will occur...
i tried to define it in one of my earlier post, but only one person responded. i guess people are not interested in defining it, because i am sure it would be hard for us to agree on a definition. i still think it is important. without a premise and clearly defined terms, debates are not very effective, it's like everyone is speaking a different language.
how can we talk about how we feel about BYB if we all have different ideas of what a BYB is? doesn't make any sense!
anyway, here is my earlier post: |
Have you read the ARTICLE? Since this thread is about the ARTICLE, then back yard breeders, for the purposes of this conversation, was clearly defined in the ARTICLE - which, btw, contained a much broader group of breeders than your definition - hence the debate.
