This lady. This lady paid FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS to have her pit bull Booger cloned into 5 puppies. Watch how crazy she is. Especially at the end. She is seriously orgasmic over the puppies.
I appreciate people who love their pets, but this is flat crazy.
Freak.
So many abandoned puppies at shelters…. and all the animals (and children!) she could help with that money!
And to think if they just put any other brown pit bull puppy in front of her she’d wig out just the same, AS IF she can tell the physical difference (yet)!!!
Poor puppies
nothing more than I agree!
I cannot watch this video.
I cannot watch some idiotic, egotistical, self-centered rich b*tch with more money than sense gush about cloning animals - not when I am sitting here in my home office with two dogs that were literally thrown away like trash (one was hurled out the window of a moving car when she was a puppy), a rescued bunny I adopted from the shelter, and two foster kittens I’m raising for a local animal rescue network. Last night, I took two of my other foster kittens to new, wonderful parents and I am trying to hang on to that happy.
If I watch this video, I will become enraged and probably punch a hole in my laptop.
I don’t want to mock this woman. I want to drag her by her hair into the my local animal shelter, where they are taking in 100 animals A DAY, and force her to take part in the euthanasia of unwanted animals that are being put down because there are just not enough homes to take them in and not enough space to house them. Maybe - just maybe then she will realize what a ridiculous, irresponsible, insipid spoiled brat she is.
Note: I am not slamming the shelter. They do what they have to do. When you have a finite amount of space and an infinite number of animals coming to fill that space and you are required to accept every animal, no matter what its condition or species - yes, they’ve even had gators and sharks turned in - you have to euthanize. It’s sad and ugly but it’s reality. It’s a reality that morons like this woman could change but will not bother to do so. I love my pets but there is no way I would have any one of them cloned. If I had $50K to burn, I’d immediately turn it over to animal rescue.
AMEN, Wordwych. I assume you work from home since you said “home office” and I am glad that you have the compassion and dedication to take in animals and even foster them! All of my pets in the past have been shelter pets, and my new cat was fostered and adopted out through the Humane Society. That woman needs to get a grip on reality.
Thanks, MLM. Kudos to you for adopting shelter pets! I think rescued animals make the best pets, really. It’s like they know you’re giving them a second chance. And, yes, I do work from home. It affords me the luxury of spending a lot of time with my animals and monitor newbie-in-the-household situations, such as the one I’m dealing with now. Took in a new kitten last night, and she is still in the spitty “OMG that’s a DOG!” phase. She hasn’t yet figured out that the dogs aren’t a threat. The downside of working from an animal-filled home is trying to act professional when I’m interviewing someone by phone and the dogs go into their maniacal “OH NO - people are STEALING OUR STUFF” barking phases when the trash truck comes.
Still, we manage to survive.
Five Boogers might be overkill….at the end, she does act like she is sitting on a Symbian machine. There was an American company that was going to clone pets called “Savings and Clone.com”…..they never perfected the technology, but it looks like our Korean friends have…..
Wow, I’ve never wanted to smack someone more in my life. What a f***ing idiot. I wish nothing but bad things for that stupid selfish cow of a woman.
There are so many things wrong with this situation, I don’t know where to begin. I, too, have volunteered my time and money to the local Humane Society and know there are many pit bulls waiting to be adopted. And the idea of cloning the dog and thinking that he will be the same is absurd. And the poor surrogate mother who had to undergo a c-section so as not to damage the goods.
But have to admit I could not stop giggling when she announced that God sent her five more mini Boogers. Mini Boogers. From God. Ha ha ha ha ha.
School Group Communications project: “Adopt-a-Thon” for the local shelter, including our own posters and flyers that I and another student designed. Our dog was rescued from a border collie puppy mill, and named after the strongest fictional woman character we know. Our cat is from the shelter. Spoiled as all get out, and worth it. This woman needs to have her priorities re-aligned, pronto. Booger?! I’m ashamed to be from the South, really I am.
Best line of this video:
“This video apparently shows the moment when the replica Boogers came into the world…”
You are all correct. First, there are too many animals in shelters without loving homes. I am an animal rescuer with 2 dogs and 8 cats currently. (plus a gaggle of kittens awaiting weaning) Cloning is wrong. Just as wrong as not having your animals spayed and neutered because you think somehow its cruel. What is cruel is bringing more animals into this world and letting them die for no other reason than they don’t have a home.
Half way throught the clip they line them up and you can clearly see one has a white stripe going down it’s head. If they are all supposed to be clones and look alike, why does one look different?
Christine, I was so gonna mention that too. I’d be $50,000 worth of suspicious…
As if there weren’t enough comments on this, I had to vent as well. I hate that woman oh so very much. Is she insane or just plain stupid? It’s not the cloning I have an issue with, it’s the fact that she is adding more to the population of animals that need homes AND spending $50k on something so dumb. It’s not as if her old dog came back “from God.” Yes, we all get sad when a pet dies, but I doubt that the first thing that comes to mind is, “Hey, instead of adopting another animal in need, why not spend all of our money to clone the one that died? Who knows, he may come back five times the puppy he was!”
Beyond stupid.
My wonderful, overly spoiled dog is also from a shelter. We’ve had him for over a year now and he is the most loving dog I have ever owned. Shelter animals make the best pets!
On a side note, was that her ‘O’ face? heehee
I’m surprised that nobody mentioned that she should have spent the 50 grand on her YELLOW teeth.
This woman’s going to have a rude awakening when all her darling, adorable puppies start to mature — at the same time! They’re all males, being cloned, so let’s just see how she handles it. Something tells me she’s going to sell them all, except the one, of course.
I agree with the others, what a waste of money and life! It’s all supreme selfishness — and I’m referring to the whole idea of cloning pets and especially people. We’re unable to move on, we’re unable to accept that everything that’s alive dies. What a weird world we’re becoming.
According to another site I saw this on, the original cost was supposed to be $100k: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/08/05/korea_dog_clone_success/
sorry, $150k.
Did you see that this woman really IS insane? She, under a different first name, kidnapped and then basically raped a Mormon missionary in England in 1977! She was convicted and sentenced, but released due to mental illness. THEN she left the country using a false passport, and passed herself off as a nun in Appalachia (you can’t make this stuff up!)
What an advertisement for the first-ever cloned pets!! They got exactly what they deserved!
