It's one thing to produce more crops etc, but just for the pet
industry's whim, and you'll note they are sterile which is good as far
as releasing them into the wild etc, but...............this is also a
great thing for the company selling them. None one can breed or sell
them except them.

Sort of like genetically resistant Round Up soybeans from Monsanto and
other GM crops, you have to buy from the ompany that develops it at a
higher cost and no raising your own.

That goes against the basic premises of growing crops or livestock,
breeding and keeping seeds for next year.

Genetic mutants are extremely useful in research, but not just for
personal consumer whims.

I see a boycott by many people. GM crops/livestock for food production
are bad enough and have issues some of which may or may not be
agreeable with folks.
