Who was the joker who assigned this story to Chris Hogg?

Anyway, these "scientists" are frauds. An American company beat them to the green pigs by a wide margin:

Future report from Taiwan:

"Hwang-Hwong Wing has admitted to smearing pigs with glow-in-the-dark paint rather than breeding them. He brings great dishonor to his ancestors and to the bad name of Taiwanese biological research."

We need to to this to humans ASAP! We could have night football without lights. Red versus green.

This seems weird and wrong on so many levels.

But, I MIGHT be "prejudiced".

The green pig does not look healthy enough to eat. I've got it! It's a ploy by PETA to discourage people from eating pork. lol!

They claim that while other researchers have bred partly fluorescent pigs, theirs are the only pigs in the world which are green through and through.

A superior glowing green pig.

...green-glowing...

To create them, DNA from jellyfish was added

Mint jellyfish?
