Then in October 2014, he was resold to slaughter an unnamed individual, which, quite probably, have already used the object of genetic engineering in food. Scientists say that genetically modified lamb does not represent a risk to human health. Irrespective of this, after running in December, an internal investigation of the incident will help the cause of the French prosecutors.
