AK senators oppose genetically-modified salmon
AP Staff Writer, Washington Examiner, December 22, 2012
"ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Alaska's congressional delegation is opposing a federal report that says a genetically modified salmon that grows twice as fast as normal is unlikely to harm the environment. ..."
These new and improved salmon have been genetically modified to migrate up through your public waterworks, pop out of your faucet and then wriggle onto your frying pan with a slice of lemon in its mouth, which I think is just plain creepy. Seriously, nature has been the beneficiary of millions of years of natural selection, each lifeform in countless ways tied into an unimaginably intricate web of life. Fish farm fish and genetically modified fish tossed in with wild fish tend to throw a damaging monkey wrench into nature, which eventually comes back and bangs us all on our noggins--not that this ever stops humans.
