China Is Building a Giant Animal-Cloning Factory to Feed the Masses

While the rest of the world sorts out its feelings about the safety and ethics of cloning animals for food production, China is charging ahead and building the world’s largest animal cloning factory, set to begin operations in 2016.
The 200 million yuan (over $31 million) commercial animal cloning center will be located in the Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area, a government-sponsored business area about 100 miles from Beijing. Xu Xiaochun, the chief executive of BoyaLife, the company behind the new operation, told The Guardian, “We are going [down] a path that no one has ever travelled. We are building something that has not existed in the past.” The company intends to produce 100,000 cow embryos per year and hopes to provide 5 percent of the meat eaten in China. In addition to cattle, BoyaLife will be cloning champion racehorses and dogs used to sniff out victims of natural disasters or stashes of illegal drugs. | MUNCHIES

Apple will have an app for that before the Chinese are up and running.

Given the Chinese penchant for feeding fish chicken shit, one has to wonder what they will feed the clones.

Oh holy shit. This sounds like the prologue to a Stephen King book. You know some damn cloned chickencowpigfish thing is going to escape the laboratory and wreak havoc on the local villagers. The crooked Chicoms will suppress the evidence and sell the meat to unsuspecting Americans. Genetic mayhem ensues.
