Ok I don't know about the legal things, but what is morally wrong with doing that?
You mean other than the abuse of animals for human pleasure?
I don't think cloning as a process is morally wrong but I don't know all that much about it. I'm more concerned with the reasons we clone animals than with the process of cloning
If you think about, that the most "successful" animals are the ones we eat, nothing we do with animals is in their interest. We only have them because they are useful in one way or the other.
Of course you can also be against mass animal food production but most people don't care, only that the chicken nuggets are cheap.
It could escape and mix with local wildlife and make the genetics all weird and complicated.
