Oh Help! Oh Horror! Milk From Cloned Cows!

Ignorance and witchcraft has reared its ugly head again! The next thing we will be told, I suppose, is that we should kill all identical twins (or horor of horrors, triplets) because they are, after all, that terrible thing called clones. True, they are clones, 'naturally occuring', but then the five legged or two headed freaks are 'naturally occuring' too and we don't want those. And everbody knows meat or milk from cloned cows or sheep is poisonous and evil and will make your babies stupid! I think somebody's mother should have been warned about drinking milk from twin cows, eh!

From a letter urging action against allowing milk or meat from cloned cows:

So what's the problem with clones? Cloning produces unhealthy animals who suffer needlessly. Clones die at a young age and suffer high rates of birth defects. Large doses of drugs, including antibiotics, are used on these clones to help them survive to adulthood.

And all of those drugs pose an indirect threat to human health. This increased use of antibiotics will exacerbate the problem of antibiotic resistance, which is already a serious problem for humans.

 Oh Lordy Lordy! Where's the fire and stake when you need it? I just knew it! The dairy industry is spending thousands to make copies of sick animals so they can poison us! Oh the horror! Oh the humanity!
