Animal-human hybrid?

Read this interesting article from The Straits Times yesterday on World section pg 17..

In Britain, the scientists are considering the injecting an egg of a cow or rabbit with human DNA. The resultant embryo would be 99.9% human and o.1% animal, from which stem cells can be extracted.

Is it ethical to conduct such Frankenstein experiments? Even if it's used for stem cell research, it's still a living being! Many religious groups are against this development in stem cell research.

Even though how much we may love our pets, I still cannot imagine having a children which is 0.1% of (probably) my dead dog. Imagine if he/she suddenly starts to stretch his/her ear with his/her foot?! O.O!

What do you think? Human-animal hybrid-ethical or not?

This is animal abuse!

Have you heard of kitty huffing or shokotanning? This is what it is..

It's like treating your kitty as a "drug" and literally sniffing drug! Like wth?! Kittens do not exist like ICE or Marijuana..

More info on this cult practice:
http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Kitten_huffing

I can't believe it's so popular it has a web page dedicated to it showing the "directions and preparation methods".

one year old husky for adoption

hey guys

hows the hols been so far? (:

results coming out soon eh?

crap..

anws

i mentioned about a one year old husky up for adoption on the tag board the other time

here's more details that i got from my friend

his neighbour found the abandoned male husky at East Coast Park.

he has kept it for a couple of months and have grown quite fond of Miki, who is really quite a lovely, playful dog.
he howls when tied up but otherwise loves to go for walks and is a good watch dog.

whilst he is friendly to familiar people, he hates cats & gets very jealous of other male dogs..
his neighbour is moving out of his rented place and doesn't want to put Miki into SPCA.

they hope that he'd be able to find a good home and maybe you might know someone who'd like to adopt a lovely male husky?

so yupp

oh oh ive got two pictures of the lovely miki too

"Where Are All The Frogs?" Talk by Dr. David P Bickford

Just thought I'll share this with the class as we are Vet Tech after all, and some of us may be interested in herpetology ;P

(just click for larger img, i'm embarrassed to admit that i have no idea how to post pics properly on blogger. Hooray for me.)

Pre -registration is required. Either call 6269 3411 or email info@zoo.com.sg by 4 Mar 2008 (Tue). Reservations are on a first-come-first-served basis.

Despite what the site says, from what I'm told you don't have to buy admission tickets to get into the zoo for this talk, but after that if you want to enter the zoo you have to get admission tickets. So yeah, it's free.

If anyone's interested just tell me & I'll double-check with the zoo staff to ensure that absolutely no purchase of tickets are required. Just in case ;D
