Cruelty in Dog Cloning

I'm still waiting...
Heh. Yesterday I was talking about Lou Hawthorne, CEO of BioArts International. On the Mutts blog, someone suggested BioArts International should consider donating some money to dog shelters. You can read that post here. Lou has not replied to that question, I keep checking but nada zilch nothing. In the meantime, I have been doing more research into dog cloning. It seems that the Humane Society of the United States and the American Anti-Vivisection Society are strongly against dog cloning. One thing I did not fully understand is the amount of animal cruelty involved in dog cloning. If you would like to find out more facts about dog cloning:

American Anti-Vivisection Society and Humane Society of the United States Release Report Warning Consumers of Problems with Pet Cloning. "Buyer beware" is the message of The Humane Society of the United States and the American Anti-Vivisection Society to consumers and pet lovers as dog cloners yesterday announced their plans for an Internet auction. In a new report, Buyers Beware: Pet Cloning Is Not for Pet Lovers, The HSUS and AAVS highlight the animal suffering, questionable claims, shoddy science and dubious background of certain players in the pet cloning scheme.
