Genetically modified Canadian pigs that poo less phosphorus, and make less pollution, are on the chopping block, literally, as no government has approved it for human consumption. According to the New York Times, "The 16 pigs in the herd, some of them representing the 10th generation of transgenic animals, will be killed."
Isn't there a petting zoo or wildlife farm that can take in the little porkers, dubbed EnviroPigs, who were engineered by adding E. Coli bacterium and genetic material from a mouse?
And speaking of Canadian pigs on the chopping block, it seems 650 jobs at the CBC are going to be axed as a result of cuts coming from the new government budget.
