Everything can be abused, but those who abuse there animals in one way or another will do it with or without hormone injections.



I applaud bob for taking the initiative to develope something that will have a place in varaniculture even if it never becomes mainstream as you're so worried about.



Chickens still act like chickens (in response to the other posts)

Chickens are FAR from extinct. How long do you think a bird as dumb as a chicken would have lasted if humans hadn't seen the need to reproduce them?



As far as varanid's conforming to human needs you need not look any farther than dogs, cats, fish, cattle ect. Selective breeding is what fuks up an animal down the family tree, not how it is bred. Go to the corn and leo forums to discuss that one.



Finally, as with all drugs, if this is to be used in the future outside of the scientific circle (aka the public) then it will be under veterinarian supervision.
