Thats horrifying. I'm in favor of GMO plants (of course Monsanto and seed patenting is awful) but I didnt consider GMO animals. Thats particularly evil, of course factory farming with antibiotics and all that is already fucking evil, but damn.
Would it be evil to genetically engineer a cow that can produce milk without having to get pregnant? Seems much less evil to me than the current state of things.
Wow U didnt even consider this. We can't just like give the cow progesterone to synthesize a milk environment? Or I guess making more dairy cows is also part of the business.
