That depends on how you look at cloning. Cloning basically creates an identical twin in regards to the animal that is cloned. It will have the same DNA, but it may act or look slightly different due to the environment it is raised in. Just because it is a clone, doesn't mean it will be mean. That's like saying because a person has an identical twin brother that the identical twin brother will be mean. There are a couple of controversies regarding cloning.
The first is that it can take several tries to get a baby that doesn't die. The successibility rate depends on the type of cloning that is done. Trying to clone an adult is much harder than trying to split an egg into.
The second is that if the practice was done on a wide scale. It could reduce the biodiversity. Biodiversity helps in the fight against diseases. If every animal's gene make-up is the same, they could all be susceptible to the same disease. With biodiversity, there is a likelihood that a couple will be resistant to the disease and can be used to create a vaccine or cure. On the other hand though you could also clone animals that are resistant to certain diseases so that you never have to worry about that disease again. Or clone animals that grow really well, helping to fight world hunger.
The third is that if the technology were transferred to humans, there could one day be the possibility that clones are grown just for body parts for people that are injured. On the opposite side though, the possibility of growing just the organ that a person needs could be possible. This would be a great accomplishment. Think about if a person needed a new heart. Finding a donor that will match is very very hard. If a heart could be cloned, there would be no worries of rejection since the heart was cloned from the person's own DNA. This subject though is where the argument of playing God normally comes into play.
What I think is more dangerous is the gene splicing we do between different varieties of plants and different varieties of animals. There is the possibility that we could create a disasterous weed, or unedible corn ruin that cross pollinates with our current corn making it all unedible or create a pestilent insect unable to be stopped.

Yes I do. They are overprotective as it's. Cloned meals is rather like ordinary meals. Genetically they're identical and any issues with the animal could be on a genetic stage, with could be very effortless to spot (such a lot could no longer be born) and even supposing there used to be a drawback genetics can't be handed via a BigMac. I could be a lot more involved with the anti-biotics the animals are soaked in, created a large tradition dish for first-rate micro organism to develop in. If that did not drawback me i could consider of the copious hormones and chemical compounds given to the meals, with many of those proteins having the potential to through transfered via concumption. I love steak, and wont quit consuming it, nonetheless, for those who havent had a drawback with meat earlier than, then cloning quite shouldnt gradual you down on the In-N-Out Burger line.

No! We are not God, and only God can create an animal. If we try He is not going to let the animal amount to anything productive at all.
Matter of fact I am of the opinion that if we don't quit fooling around with this kind of stuff He is going to get really mad about us trying to be Him and that will not be good thing guys!
Look at what has happened to our food we are eating because of hybrid plants. Yes they may be resistant to certain diseases, and they may mature faster, but they are very, very, poor in nutrients that we have to have to live.
Just because something is bigger and faster does not mean it is better. They argue that we can feed more people with the hybrids in all aspects of the food chain, but we give our animals hormones to grow faster and bigger, and now our bodies are absorbing these excess hormones and it is not giving us anything but an increased risk of every kind of disease, and they are becoming so resistant to our medicines we are hatching super bacteria and mutating viruses until we are going to get in a epidemic one day and, well I just hope I am one of the first to die from it because I don't want to see what is going to be a horrible thing , and leave the world almost unpopulated . Those left behind will have a long time to even begin to be able to create a new race of humans that are not suceptible to everything that is still out there but we have vaccinated against until we don't think of it any more. But those plagues are still out there just waiting.

It can be slightly dangerous, and for one reason only: age. the cloned animal's metabolism will be the same as it's template's age, when it's new born. It will also have the same genetic disorders and diseases.

no cloning animals are not safe cause the more of that animal you clone the meaner it can get.

No it can mess up the circle of life.
