Okay, so for the original poster:
Obviously there are 2 vastly different opinions. 1 side says "its fine to do this, in these [other/different] species its fine, natural" and the other side says "dont do this [with this species], there are serious consequences, this is what the consequences are:"
The two sides are not going to agree any time soon. Mostly they will go back and forth forever, because no median can be reached when it comes to acceptable husbandry and an animals health and life are at stake.
So, you have to take in the information provided, and make an educated decision. Personal preferences aside, your responsibility is to the animal, and to provide that animal with a long, healthy life. No chances, no maybes, in this situation, its better safe then sorry, because the risk is great.
