okay we can all agree that useless animal research is wrong i.e lipstick and perfume etc.....but what if they genetically splice a dolphin with a goldfish so that the goldfish had the same intelligence as a dolphin....
think about it everyhome will have a mini waterworld
^And then some of the goldfish get loose, by an unlikely accident, and take over every body of fresh water they have access to...
Sure that's a great plan.
That'd be particularly difficult, considering that one is a mammal and one is a fish.
You'd have more luck crossing rabbits with horses to create giant, ridable rabbits. (And if you succeed, let me know; I've always wanted to ride a rabbit.)
