Would you want a glow-in-the-dark dog?
Quote:
Some medical research mad scientists in Korea recently announced that they had genetically modified a dog to glow in the dark. The beagle Tegon's special ability is not an always thing. Tegon has to be fed doxycycline in order to glow. I don't know about beagles, but I've had to take doxy antibiotics before and they are completely nauseating and unpleasant. Maybe beagles tolerate them better than I do.
The point of a glow-in-the-dark dog is not to create new pets for eccentrics...

More importantly, did you glow in the dark?

Whaaaat the fuck? When I read the title, my instant reaction was "Fuck yes!" but I'm just not down with pointless fucking around with animals. I agree that if the dog could be made "comfortably fluorescent" I'd be down. I'd also be down for myself to be made comfortably fluorescent.

I'd have to say "Yes I would like one!", as long as the breed was Samoyed... ;)

I'm going to have to go with no. I already have a Mastiff that barely leaves my side. It would be great at first, I'm sure, but the novelty would ware off pretty quickly and the constant glowing would just be annoying.

I want a glow in the dark cat. Nothing quite like tripping over the fucker at 2 am enroute to the shitter to take a piss.
