Human-animal hybrids have existed for decades and decades. It is nothing new.

Exhibit 1A: The turtle person.

I dare ya to milk her.

Hmm... if we eat a transgenic cow, are we cannibals? :-) How much needs to be human, before we're eating a human?

When she says "moo", cow pies will appear all over the place.

I'm waiting for a cow that has milk with a better protein balance. Humans don't need anywhere near as much casein proteins as calves, that pesky lack of horns and hooves gives us a problem dealing with the excess.

Maybe they can get a cow that makes something closer to mother's milk. Call it Mooother's milk if you must, but it would be healthier for humans.

OTOH the new container isn't anywhere near as attractive (or as much fun)...

Another one of these experiments gone very wrong.....

Try goat milk.

At least you wouldn't have to form a line behind your two brothers ... or worse.

If cows want to crossdress in the privacy of their own barns, that's one thing....

Eww...I'm just glad I seldom crave beef.

I'd wager you're not to keen on venison either.

LOL! If she wasn't so d*mn mean, I could feel sorry for her, the way she is put down. But she asks for and deserves it.

"...found that only 23% of American consumers believe that food from cloned animals is safe, while 43% believe it is unsafe."

Which proves that a majority of the public are un-educated fools. No wonder the Founding Fathers had no use for "democracy".
