Sheep are domestic animals. They're edible. A program could be arranged by which CI members buy live sheep, the research is done on the spot when they're privately slaughtered, and then the member gets the mutton. The heads amount to free byproducts of the meat purchase. The same could be done with other domestic animals, such as pigs or cattle. CI does it's research with heads of precisely known history, and the members get meat at a discount. Everyone is happy. About the only complication of this would be the need to move a portion of CI's research facilities to some place where handling livestock and slaughtering animals would be feasible. I suspect, though I don't know this for certain, that the required equipment could fit in a van, and be set up temporarily in the the garage of a rural member. I'm assuming that CI DOES have rural members. Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=15671
