I read part of it and I think still is this animal abuse ! I never give money for medical researches as I know it mean some poor animals will go through HELL!

Okay then we can do medical research on humans instead of our own animals. That sounds good.

how novel... not. :/ what's the point of having the glow?

Beagles are one of the most common subjects for labs. In fact, most of our deteriorous genes can also be found in canines, and not rodents. Considering breeding dogs are easier than breeding primates, this make them more ideal. The glow gene can be inserted into loci where scientists think where a potential gene is.

You are terribly naive. The alternative is to test on humans. Most people would not consent to that. We have gone a long way from being behind closed doors and experimenting on the "invalids." At least with animal experimentation, it's open, not discreet.

Computer stimulation technology is flawed. Advanced stem cell and cloning technology are too expensive. I sympathize with you, but there IS NO SAFE ALTERNATIVE to human-testing; other than non-human testings.

The fact that it's hard to get GMO-related research approved in North America due to tight regulations from USDA, FDA and CFIA alongside protests from AR lobbyists and rejections from born-again Christians and New Age granolas means none of these research will show up in the Americas. So why bitch about it?

So your tax dollars are not going toward glowing beagles. South Koreans are capitalizing on what we missed out.
 
There no way God will like what these people do to these animals! They do have feelings too!
Animals abuse or Animal test must be stopped!

Must be a weak God if he has no power to stop this. :roll:
 
oh I didn't see the article, just video. I now understand the reason for it. I thought it was a novelty thing.

It's not animal abuse - the dogs were NOT harmed. The thing is that animals do NOT care if they're defective or not, they don't even know.

Boys Town tried to hide that are doing animals testing . Nothing you say can made me change my mind!

Oh geez. I just finished up reading about that. Non-compliance with USDA's guideline. They didn't hide the fact they were testing kittens with neurological disorders. What got them busted was the fact Boys Town was substandard and failed to past inspection since many of the devices and medications they used were outdated; and the kittens were living in subpar conditions.

By your logic, if companies failed to live up to the no-peanut labelling standards of their factory system, peanut production must be banned.
 
I am sorry but you are projecting human feelings into animals too much.

In nature, a lot of offsprings have serious defects and many are killed or eaten by predators. Nature isn't always kind. Not every offspring gets a good shot at life. Some just got a bum rap while others are blessed with great genes.

Animals have NO concept of mortality and they don't understand their purpose at all. They have no friggen clue that they probably could have been "healthy." It's all they have. A lot of us would think, "We should put them to sleep because they're too sick." but do they understand that? no. It's a human centered thinking, not them. They don't instinctively ask for death. It doesn't work that way.

We are the only animals that can make things better for animals.
 
A glowing dog...
I can just imagine the look on the vets face or several of them I work with if one of them came in the door.

ROFL!

why not create glow the dark kids-genetically alter a gene that allows a child to glow in the dark that wears off as they get older-no more " where's bobby?".
