I am firmly against the cloning of farm animals as it is completely unneccessary and unorthodox. There are tons of ranchers out there who grow their beef and chicken on natural grains and good hay who would be glad to sell their products. This is going to put the real cattle ranches out of business and increase poverty. Why clone a cow when you can just have the original one reproduce.This is just a way for the government to put farmers and ranchers out of business. Not to mention, how do you really know what is put in that cloned meat? Why is money being spent on something so unneccessary; surely there are more important things to fund. Please consider what this will do to the farmers and ranchers of America.
