OT Florida couple clones beloved dog for $155,000
http://www.cnn.com:80/2009/LIVING/01...=ib_topstories
155,000 What a pair of POS. 155,000 could keep 3or 4 shelters running for a year here. I let them know my feelings on their website. Which looks like the email and site has been placed under construction |

Oh, really? Were you deposited by aliens? Do tell. Then I got it. Hey, I'm only on my first cup of tea. Be kind to the slow-witted! -- Joyce ^..^ (To email me, remove the X's from my user name.) |

It's just after 9 PM over here but I am the same in the mornings....a couple of mornings ago (Before my 1st cup of coffee( I went to the office next to me and happened to notice someone's computer wall paper was this rather attractive hunk wearing nothing but a towel and someone said "We call him hot chocolate" (he was African) and I said "Wouldn't mind a mug full of that" At which point they burst out laughing and I was standing there wondering why they found it so funny....after my coffee I think I sorta understood it after my second...I felt embarassed And yes I wasn't born I was deposited by the mothership to take care of owners!

Which looks like the email and site has been placed under construction Don't be too hard on them, they're not acting rationally, they are reacting out of grief. If you thought you could bring back your loved one in full health and vigour and had the $155,000, then in your grief, you might do it too. The $155,000 they paid to the insitute will also no doubt be put toward research into medical cloning technology, which may help who knows how many people and animals in the future. The article says they've also given far more than $155K to the humane society, so its not as it they're totally selfish greedy people. Spending such money on something you and I would consider 'a waste of good money' is no worse, IMHO, than buying a yacht or going on an around the world first class holiday etc etc than giving to a charity, but perhaps this money will go to something useful rather than be totally wasted on hedonistic pastimes. It may not be what you or I would do, but I find it hard to completely condemn their actions Yowie |

I find this totally disgusting. So many people have such horrible problems,
along with their pets and people spend money on this. I am concerned about health problems too. If it has problems, will they spend even a grand on it or have it PTS for not being what they wanted.

Yowie, you are much kinder than I, guess it is good there are people who can
feel this way but I can't. If I had that kind of money the cops would be after me for theft!! Hmmmmm guess I couldn't have robbed a bank, they claim they are broke too. "Yowie" wrote in message ...
