If not, what should it be?
I've been wanting to make a post about breeding ethics for a while now but didn't want to force it. Wanted it to feel natural and earlier today I saw myself express some negative views towards a breeder and their tactics and I felt bad about it because I usually don't like to criticize others but then I thought, wait a minute. It said on the pack one thing, and the plants produced another.
They weren't hay or anything, they were actually very enjoyable in their own way, but they weren't as advertised in my opinion.
There's a lot of talk across the boards about lines being used that were shared as gifts or trades with the understanding that they wouldn't be released pure or released in certain ways and of course they were. Feelings hurt, bridges burnt, ect.
Theres a disclaimer on some seedpacks for sale that say not permitted for commercial reproductions without permission. I found it kind of appaling but maybe theres an angle or perspective that I'm not considering so I'd like to ask and know what does breeding ethics mean to you?
In any form, fashion, or sense or the words. What would be standards of ethics in plant breeding, or what aspects are important to you?
I don't like feeling negative towards someone so I'm kinda hoping someone will pop in to change my opinion. Much love
