Genetically Altered Animals & Cultured Meat

...This particular subject dawned upon me today, after reading a brief blog post I wrote 1.5 years ago about the Chupacabra - Goat Sucker - on aMyths, Legends, & Folklore Blogspot. While perusing over this old material, I was trying to not get hit broadside with folklore while I pushed the myths down south and kicked the legends up north. ...This left me in a critical thinking mode, and I no longer needed some mythical creature as a focal point, as it was plain as day thatwe have our own genetically altered animals of today, that beckons for a closer look. To make this even more troublesome, we got people trying to grow meat products in a laboratory, hence forth the "cultured meat" part of the title for this Hub.

Should animals be used for medical testing? Yes!

Medical science has come a long way. All the progress we see in this field in the form of better drugs and surgeries is the result of perpetual research and hard-work. In order to test certain drugs, they needed living things. The living thing that was found pretty close to human beings was Guinea pig, although many other animals are also used.

Save Beagles

A few weeks ago i came across a news reporting that beagles were being used as “lab rats” in many laboratories across the world. I’m a beagle owner so it really shocked me. I asked myself “why would someone treat so badly such cute and lovely animals?” They are one of the most common breeds all over the world, kids love them, adults love them..this really shocked me. So I started making some research of my one to get to the heart of the problem. I found that accordingly to Statistics of Scientific Procedures on Living Animals in Great Britain over 97% of dogs tested are beagles. Shocking numbers i'm sure. There are even some companies that breed this dogs especially for lab testing.

Why Beagles?

The first question that pop into my head was why were Beagles the preferred breed to be tested. Well, the answer was simple as they are very friendly, forgiving, trusting and love to please their owners. Also, the research industry admits that they adapt well under poor conditions like living in cages. Also, since they’re small/medium side dogs the cost with food is minimum.
