When cloning a pet, do we think about what it takes and what the consequences are?
Some people don’t realize that they are spending thousands of dollars and there is a chance the clone will run away. Cloning is when the DNA of an animal is injected into the egg of a surrogate mother. Pets should not be cloned because there are many stray animals already, it’s expensive, and it can cause more grief.
There are many stray animals already that need adopted and cared for. There are an undeterminable number of stray animals in the world. In the U.S. alone there is an estimated number of stray cats that ranges up to 70 million. Of the animals that do go to a shelter or have a home only 10% have been spayed or neutered.
