I think cows that feel no pain would create some (apparently unexpected!) difficulties RE: electric fencing.
Oh, but the puppies. Also, the turducken analogy. Popsci, you make me happy.
There are a few other animals that have also been fitted with prostheses:
1. Mosha and Motola (two Thai elephants) - see: http://bit.ly/90Nq0k and http://bit.ly/cVNyEk
2. Molly (pony) - see: http://nyti.ms/dpWd0P
There are 0 crocs in florida, just alligators, way to go popsci
Uhhh... I think we can do without hawk size dragonflies thank you very much.
Jackalope134 you are completely wrong. There is a substantial population of American Crocodiles in the Florida Everglades. It is the only area where both Alligators and Crocodiles co-exist. Do some research.
OK....the spider goat thing is creeping me out. I can picture myself going out to the barn to collect the eggs from the chickens, then suddenly I look up, bessy the goat is swinging from the rafters, she nails me with a web shot from her udder and BAMMO, she starts chewing on my shirt......:o)
Animals that dont feel pain also dont feel pleasure. They were created to feel, and enjoy eating grass and breathing, and mating etc, I sometimes shudder at the cold, sterile, reptillian efficency that permeates the modern "scientific" mind. How about we just pay a $1 more per gallon and treat the animals right? geeze.
Very interesting.
Cattle feel no pain, cattle looses fear, end up with meaner bulls and meaner cows.
Think about it, if the salmon have been implanted with a dominant gene of different species, in a later generation, they keep passing the traits to the young and the salmon as we know them will have been altered to the point where when they breed together with others...NO MORE SALMON! This changes the taste and other traits of the fish, yet being a mutant, it isn't really salmon!
If the fish are sterile how do you farm them?
The comment by sheblindedmewith is totally on point. I couldn't agree with you more!
Wow at the cyborg monkey. The sheer potential of an improved brain-computer interface is quite amazing.
