Trust the japanese to come up with something like this. Why is it they always have to mutate and modify stuff; Rice, Cows and now monkeys.
They have successfully bred these primates with a gene that make their skin glow green..YESH NEON GREEN!! The gene, which was first extracted from jellyfish, is known as GFP or Green Fluorescent Protein (which is quite a duh name if u ask me!). An animal tagged with GFP glows green, when its skin is exposed under ultraviolet light.
However, much of the anti-sentiments did not come of animal rights activists but rather from those strongly against the use of research to create genetically-tailored humans.
The scientists defence? Well all they were looking for were ways to replicate man's deadliest diseases in this poor primates, so as to better understand and come up with a more compatible cure in the quickest time possible for mankind.
Hmmm, haven't we all wondered at least one time in our lives if it were ever possible for wild chimps to kidnap jungle trekkers and experiment on us since we're like the closest relation to them as well..."Hey, i guess these funny homo-sapiens with interchangeable feet should do fine for our genetics experiments back at the cave?!"...hmmm lol
