BoyaLife, a Chinese biotech company, with South Korean research firm Sooam Biotech, has entered into a joint venture to start the largest herd of cloned calves
He is about to end up run over, his mother saves him
Come on how many stories! There cloned meat, the one that will occur in China and whose news is going around the world, will be of quality! Elite mass calves that will give you a mouth-watering meat. Or at least that's what those of the boya life (but what a fitting name!), a Chinese biotech company.
Together with the South Korean Sooam Biotech, a research company that has produced 550 cloned pups since 2005 and is headed by mad scientist Hwang Woo-suk (known, among other things, for being the first to have cloned a dog), has entered into a joint venture for thestart of the largest herd of cloned calves.
The main objective of the project is, in fact, to produce high-class mass calves to meet the growing demand for quality beef in China (where pigs are already cloned to go-go).
The villainous industrietta will be based in Tianjin and it is expected that it will produce one million calves per year when fully operational (100 thousand in the first phase). And it is not excluded from extending cloning to dogs, but not for edible purposes (we are thinking of rescue and police tasks). The overall investment is estimated around 31 million dollars (that much smarter big things could be done with $ 31 million left over ...) and production should start in 2016
“I guarantee it - says Xu Xiaochun, CEO of BoyaLife - the cloned veal it's the best meat I've tasted in my life! ”.
Rest of stucco. Also because it is an initiative in clear contrast to the European regulations that prohibit the cloning of farm animals (after the experiment of Dolly, the first sheep cloned in Scotland in 1996), but in line with the Americans. And indeed, on this point, some trepidation remains if we look at the TTIP front, the free trade agreement between Europe and the United States, which is a flea in the ear as regards cloned meat and GMOs they put it there.
And we close with a comment by Marco Cioffi, poet and anti-species activist, who says: “The reproducibility of life as an exaltation of the usual anthropocentric delirium, beyond the systematic and repeated reification of the life of others. We are a crazed ship swallowing and spewing oceans of suffering".
Will the clones invade us? Look behind you. And in your dishes.
