That was not my meaning. What I wanted to say, and did so poorly, (shut up
Paul) was that we can't force others to adopt our ethics or morality. That is
done by those men in white shirts and black ties that come to our doors at
dinner time.
We need to share our thoughts with others, and suggest they sign a breeders
code, or a code of ethics, not to sign it, but to accept it. I would rather
have one person adopt the right morality, than have 50 sign a code of ethics
and ignore it.
There is nothing wrong with having a code to sign, a contract to enter into,
or a standard to read. Adopting the basis for them is what is important,
not signing something.
