Authorities are looking into how the lamb was sold as meat to an unknown customer and almost certainly eaten. The lamb, named Ruby, was genetically altered with a jellyfish protein known as GFP (Green Fluorescent Protein) that gave the animal a fluorescent colour.
The protein altered the appearance of the animal's skin to make it transparent. Ruby was born for research purposes but last autumn she was mistakenly taken to the abattoir along with other animals destined for consumption.
The meat was put on sale as normal and purchased by an individual consumer in Ile-de-France, whose identity has not been revealed. Therefore the likelihood is that the meat from the animal was eaten, but it is unclear by whom or how many people.

Can't they just wait for dusk and keep an eye out for a fluorescing french citizen?
The job now of science teachers is not to glorify the constant push to more manipulation of species and the drive for safe, clean, nuclear power but to prepare students to defend our world against the monster that is runaway science. Britain and America are neo-Vikings still on a rampage, continually pushing on and heedless of the messes left behind. They are now pushing the idea that man, or the rich ones who can leave, will blast off into the cosmos to takeover more and more new worlds to pillage, so destroying this one is unimportant.
