Cows 'should be genetically engineered not to feel pain'

Remember how Dr. Peter Singer's philosophical theories would cause quite a stir with folks who were not particularly inclined to take animal suffering into account in their calculus of how the world should work....

(And, as always, a shout-out to Doug Powell at Kansas State for finding this story!)
