Spider Sweatshops

In reading this article, the first thing that came to mind was thousands and thousands of spiders, chained to machines, forced to spin silk for little or no wages and in poor conditions.

Then came the part about introducing spider genes into cows and goats. A vision of an eight-legged cow sitting in a web strung between trees, looking for a human meal came into focus . . .

An imagination is a terrible thing to have at times . . .
