>Being against transgenic animals is a form of xenophobia - they have as much right to exist as older species. The additional genetic diversity is fantastic and a great chance to improve nature. If they are inferior they will die on their own, if they are better they will prosper, the most fair outcome. Nature isn't supposed to be a curated and fragile garden. Not at all, it’s being concerned about the effects of releasing genetically engineered species into the wild, both purposely or accidentally. It’s not questioning “is it right/wrong because they are different genetically” but “is it ethical to potentially change the environments of other species without understanding the ramifications”.
