Oh my! Another reason to be vegan.
Following a safety review, U.S. food regulators said short-haired cattle produced through gene editing can be raised for meat production.

And remember that term “precision breeding.”. Oh my.
Acceligen, a “precision breeding” company based in the Minneapolis suburbs, used the CRISPR gene-editing technique to produce cattle with the short-hair trait, known as a slick coat. Some scientists say cattle with an extremely short coat may be better able to tolerate hot weather.
A “slick coat” would also make them easier to butcher and process. Can’t imagine that it would increase skin cancer rates.
Be well my friends!
