Pig left this morning for a day in Shawinigan to help Francois set up his new office. It’s best that he not be here while I ponder this dilemma.
It has recently come to my attention that rumours are circulating about a request to clone Major Pig. I am flattered that the little guy has become so popular. The post about Le P’tit Pig has the most page views thus far and his audience now spans nine countries and four continents – with fans as far away as Australia.
But clone the PIG? .....what about the legal ramifications? ....what about moral implications? Yes, members of the lower order of our great animal kingdom have been duplicated in the past – frogs, even cats.
There was the famous ‘Dolly’ the sheep in Scotland....
and in recent years Canada’s first clone at McGill University, Montreal (and a pig at that!)....
– would have to be infantry...maybe another branch of the military altogether. I personally would rather create a Private Pooh or Ensign Eeyore...
........but there can never be another Major Pig.
