That is an interesting link. I am surprised there are no regulations
governing sale and distribution of genetically modified animals. I
believe there are in other countries. In Canada, use of transgenic
animals in research is tightly regulated, with containment (not allowing
them to escape into the environment) one of the critical issues.

It surprises me that transgenic animals such as this are being sold
comercially.
