Seems like this department (study) has crossed over the line from valid research into out & out cruelty. It should be stopped immediately.
What gives them the right to play God? There is no need to re-engineer animals to suit human greed. I wonder how many other government
departments are running on "auto pilot" without any outside scrutiny? There was a video connected to this article where they talked to one
of the scientists involved with these experiments.
