I do love beagles of every shape, size and color. But this distresses me:

Ruppy the Transgenic Fluorescent Beagle and his littermates

They’re darling, of course, because all beagle puppies are darling. But will they end up snoozing happily on couches and barking at baby rabbits through front windows? I rather doubt it. Poor little babies.

    Of course they claim it’s the first step to gene therapy that will cure human diseases blah-blah-blah, but if it’s serious scientific research one wonders why they chose the grandstanding fluorescent gene. Poor puppies.

    SO you don’t think they’ll give them a decent life? Ugh. I don’t like to think about it.
