Uh oh, the eugenic police are at it again. Cross breeds are threat to wild waterfowl? What next?

  I did see that.
  
  Most species of waterfowl have some degree of hybridization.
  
  I think the problem comes from invasive waterfowl species that introduce behavioral phenotypes that keep the hybrids from either thriving or reproducing.
  
  But in general, hybridization isn’t a problem with waterfowl.

I did not think so and in a few years the mixes either die out or breed back into the breed.
I got the impression that the conservation group was not a shooting and hunting group in the manner of Ducks Unlimiterd or Delta Ducks over here.
