DNA altered 'super horses' born in a lab could change thoroughbred racing

A bioengineering lab in Argentina has genetically altered the DNA of horses to create what it calls "super horses." The lab's goal is to transform the world of high-performance animals. The lab confirms that five foals were born in December 2024 with the altered DNA, which includes the best traits of horse racing greats. The U.K. chapter of PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, denounced the creation, calling it "a grotesque idea." …

Made for Speed - Genetically Edited Polo Ponies Draw Objections

by Lucas Noel Toward the end of last year, a news story that shook the breeding world was released. A laboratory announced a supposed milestone in equine biotechnology by disclosing the birth of five horses genetically edited using the CRISPRCas9 technique. The procedure involved using a small part of a gene from one mare and introducing it into another. To do this, scientists alter the DNA by cutting out specific areas of the genome and removin…

Genetically Engineered 'Super Horses' Being Created By Scientists

To pawn this off as a cure for food shortage in the undeveloped world is patently stupid. Who would eat genetically engineered horses, anyway? Genetic scientists are modifying all life on planet Earth: fish, birds, animals, insects, and even humans with synthetic mRNA injections. Collectively, they are destroying God’s creation. DARPA is pursuing a “super-soldier” that will be genetically altered, so it’s a matter of time before GMO humans will …
