This is proof that they are mad scientists, and their experiments are animals are bloody cruel and unnecessary. Shame on the scums!
I voted, but the animals are not winning in this vote.

ARE SCIENTISTS TOTALLY INSANE OR JUST ACTING LIKE IT?

How can human DNA do any good in a animal. what are they doing trying to make humans out of monkeys. thats already been done according to Darwin!!!

this is so barbaric and sick, scientists should not be allowd to do whatever they want.

No, we should be focused on deterring wars, famine, and toxic waste if we are unuable to accept our own mortality, it happens to to all species every day, life isn't fair, it never will be, we can't try to create the super-human, the planet cannot tolerate it...
