It's hard to believe this is real.While there is so much to love about Uruguay, I think this is a baaaaaaaa...d idea.
Wow! If they do this to every pet we have in our home, that would be fantastic! But isn't it disturbing to the animal themselves? I mean if it is not their natural genetics, then they will need to adjust or something like that; change their style of living stuff.. just wondering.
Juvy@luminoworld.com, It would not bother their natural life as they can only glow under ultraviolet tight, and there are no known side-effects to the virus which makes them glow.
BARRY OBAMA HEALTHCARE ACT coming to life everyday! Cannot wait for 2014!!! I am ready to get healthy by the government 🙂
Thanks for lettings us know why they modified the sheep.
This will make it easier for farmers to find some lovin' in the dark.
I'm on the lamb, but I ain't no sheep.
I wonder if they could do that to my dog, Astro. That would be pretty cool to have the only dog that glows in the dark. That would be out of this world!
These things will be invaluable when the power goes out, except my battery-powered ultraviolet light, and I'm trying to find the mint jelly.
