Survey for owning GMO pets

[biograd]

Hi Everyone,

I created a short survey on if you would own GMO pets like the Glofish.  I was curious to know how many people are willing to own them and if so what type of pet. 

Here is the survey:

Thanks

[Brian Degger]

eu regulations prevent the owning of glowfish, otherwise I would fill out the survey

The survey question asks 'if they were legal'

[Cathal Garvey]

I'll fill out. The minute we get approval for GMMs in Forma Labs (Cork
Biomakerspace) I'm gonna see can we get a permit to import Glowfish
specially for the biomakerspace. I'm fairly sure the company breeding
them would be happy to see some across the pond, right? :)

nice one cathal!

As far as I know, glofish is quite common in EU, black market of course.

I have seen it twice in the market without searching for it (but I am a fish
keeper, so I visit such places regularly, often including the facilities not

open to the general public).

So I think the survey is relevant to EU as well, but may be it should

be taken anonymously :) (or it should be declared if it is so already).

Maybe confused them with the problematic dye injected fish.

Would be highly surprised if glofish were anywhere but labs.

No no, I can tell what I am looking at. (I study ichthyology btw)

In one case, the fish were immediately fed to some large cichlids.

"Its just food", the owner did not trust me enough :)

and dye injecting is commonly performed on Parambassis

or various albino specimens, I have never seen it on a zebrafish.

Underground market in gmo organisms. Who would have thought ; )

I wouldn't think it is anything organized or so :) Just people like to keep interesting things.

Non GMO illegal trade with wild animals/pets (CITES species, banned putative invasive species and so on) is also common and I would say way more organized/commercial.

Well since you ask - it's been over half a decade since the glowing monkey paper came out - starting to think they're our generation's "flying cars".

[Bethan]

Will the results of this survey be published? I'm curious to see what GM pets people want.

It would also be interesting to see what non-GM pets the same people want, as a control - e.g. would GM make a difference to what pets people own? I'd definitely like a glowing rodent, but otherwise I wouldn't really have a pet.

[leaking pen]

yes, especially gmo to fix issues caused by years of inbreeding on purebred pets, or to fix issues, like say dander protein productions in cats, to create hypoallergenic cats.

Sure, I will definitely publish the results.  I would like to see a little more participation before I do.  As of now I have 15 responses.

It would be great to blend yorkie or other hypoallergenic coats into other breeds.
