There are individuals with strong feelings on both sides of this argument, and these personalities are at a heightened state of volatility that will take very few more sparks to ignite violence.

My impression is that you are saying that we can see improvements with cloned animals so that, if you get a specific animal that has high milk production or the best meat, cloning that animal allows you to increase that genetic makeup and get more animals that have that specific improvement in terms of milk production, et cetera.
