I see major problem with nomenclature, i.e. what the term "open" means. It used to be the opposite of "secret" but for some people here seems a synonyme of "noble" "honest" or "ethical".

If I said to any of you: "I openly admit that I plan to kidnap and kill your vlcak, becacuse I need its body for an important experiment", would you consider me honest or ethical? Would you excuse such doing or consider it noble? Well, you should, I was being open, unlike many who just steal dogs for such purposes.

If somebody who calls himself a breeder openly plans to take part in the process of breed destruction IMO isn't honest, but cynical (or just ignorant and greedy ).

Whatever the end of the "Stephanie-gate" is, FCI and national KCs should definitely undertake more effective efforts in educating its members, so they would better understand the mission and goals of the organisation and the sense and goals of breeding as such.
