“A harmless sample from one pig can produce many millions of tons of product without requiring us to raise and slaughter an animal each time,” said Eitan Fischer, founder of Mission Barns, a maker of cultivated meat
This could seriously endanger the livestock. For instance, he mentions no need to "raise" an animal each time. Many millions of tons from one animal? That's just ONE sample from one animal, how many samples can you get out of one animal? Cattle ranchers are able to keep the herds strong and healthy with the money made from them. These guys are not going to give any money to the cattle ranchers to keep big, or small , herds strong and healthy. Cows are not pets, and they rely on us to care for them. If this stuff takes off well there will be no funds to keep herds strong, healthy, and sufficient in number because the corporations will be getting all the business and they won't have the expense of caring for herds or flocks of animals. So they will not be able to compete with them, therefore there will be no funds to care for them. No funds , no herds or flocks of animals. These corporations are only going to keep as few animals as possible. And from the sounds of it, that few, could literally be just a few. You don't think this puts our livestock on the road to extinction. Think again.....
This really is a VERY serious matter.
