It
is beginning to dawn on people that if they clone their deceased pets,
they will only get their old companion back in shape but not necessarily
in behaviour. As such, companies that offer pet cloning are starting to
come up with other ways of making money, such as producing
glow-in-the-dark pets (rabbits make for great fluffy nightlights!) or
developing your favourite type of animal with a cocktail of growth
factors that alter its physical shape to make it look like something
from a fantasy novel or a sci-fi movie. Gruesome as that sounds, they
swear it does not harm the animals and that the side effects of exposure
to these growth hormones is minimal. Animal rights groups, of course,
are having a field day with this whole thing, but their protest budgets
have got nothing on the amount of cash the companies are forking in for
each dragon-dog or alien-cat they sell.
I
personally don’t have the time to take care of a pet that requires a
lot of attention, so I limit myself to fish - the walls in my house all
have strips of transparent, heat stable plastic in them which serve as
aquariums for all kinds of glowy and colourful fish. My house reminds me
of the lighting on runways at night.
