Ruby was a brightly colored lamb with transparent skin. She carried jellyfish DNA and belonged to “Green Sheep,” a research project in France studying the effects of implants on humans. She was then maliciously sold to a slaughterhouse along with non-GMO sheep by disgruntled employees of the project. She has since been sold as food to unsuspecting diners.
“It was then sold by the slaughterhouse to an unnamed individual in October 2014, though it’s not clear how many people may have eaten it. INRA says the genetically modified lamb poses no health risk to humans, though it has asked French prosecutors to investigate the incident, following an internal investigation that it launched in December.”
The employees could face one year in prison and a fine of approximately $83,000.
