In all these, there is care to protect and maintain the pure species. You can always recreate the hybrids by re-doing registered crosses from scratch if there is still a pool of quality specimens of the species.
You cannot recover a species that has its gene pool polluted by accidental or deliberate hybridizing to the point the pure individuals no longer exist.
Some hobbyist circles for types of animals generally frown upon any sort of hybridizing, such as finch breeding. The risk of genetic pollution from bastards that look like a species is just too high, and several species can no longer be obtained pure from the wild due to being endangered, general wildlife preservation export ban, or risk of diseases introductions.
Accidental finch hybrids should either be culled or housed as pets in a cage where they cannot breed, in the hand of someone who will never re-sell them.
Yeah plenty of species produce offspring with other related species, sometimes they are fertile.
Macaw species can interbreed, so can lions and tigers, and orchids can be cross-bred across different genera ( which is a whole industry and hobby, example from a single alliance. ).
