Barbra Streisand Gets MAJOR Backlash… For CLONING Her Dog

Barbra Streisand has been in the news for basically being a liberal moonbat.

The woman blamed Trump for her weight gain…

and then for the Parkland Shooting.

This, despite the fact that mass shootings SKYROCKETED under her beloved Obama.

Am I saying that mass shootings were directly Obama’s fault. No. But I AM saying that her notion that mass shootings are due to Trump making everyone “angry” is sheer idiocy.

Anyway… she’s in the news again. And this time, people on BOTH sides are rolling their eyes.

Dear LORD.

The dogs don’t even have the same personality as hers did… so what’s the POINT?!

This woman thinks she can talk down to us on politics, by the way.

According to Fox:

Not everyone was happy to hear Barbra Streisand couldn’t give up on her beloved pooch.

The 75-year-old singer/actress recently told Variety her two Coton de Tulear dogs are actually clones of a canine she used to have that died last year. However, the news immediately came with major backlash.

PETA president Ingrid Newkirk told Page Six Tuesday she hopes other pet owners won’t follow in the star’s footsteps. Instead, Newkirk insisted people should consider adopting animals in dire need of loving homes.

“We all want our beloved dogs to live forever, but while it may sound like a good idea, cloning doesn’t achieve that – instead, it creates a new and different dog who has only the physical characteristics of the original,” she explained. “Animals’ personalities, quirks and very ‘essence’ simply cannot be replicated, and when you consider that millions of wonderful adoptable dogs are languishing in animal shelters every year or dying in terrifying ways when abandoned, you realize that cloning adds to the homeless-animal population crisis.

“And because cloning has a high failure rate, many dogs are caged and tormented for every birth that actually occurs – so that’s not fair to them, despite the best intentions. We feel Barbra’s grief at losing her beloved dog but would also love to have talked her out of cloning.”

I never thought I’d agree with PETA…

This is just selfish and dumb. There are SO MANY adoptable dogs out there. And if you want a full breed puppy, THAT’S FINE TOO! But what’s the point of this, exactly?

Many chimed in on Twitter, mocking Streisand’s controversial choice, leading to hashtag #adoptdontclone.

Because the #AnimalsInShelters desperately seeking a home are not up to your standards @BarbraStreisand . 🙄
Shameful example you are setting especially for #TheWealthy! 😠

People need to #StopPlayingGod!! #AdoptDontShop #AdoptDontCLONE! #BarbaraStreisand #SaveAnimals 🐕🐩

Ok #barbarastreisand clone your dogs fine. But cut a check for an animal shelter. There are thousands that need home. #adoptdontclone

The New York Times noted cloning is significantly more expensive than heading to a shelter. While one doesn’t need to be a celebrity to have the procedure done, it can cost up to a whopping $50,000. It also noted that cloned animals aren’t exact replicas of the original dogs.

And Sooam Biotech, a lab in South Korea which has cloned more than 600 dogs, revealed the cloning process works only about 33 to 40 percent of the time, resulting in a strong potential for miscarriages.

Streisand herself said her dogs, Miss Violet and Miss Scarlett, aren’t completely similar to her former pooch Samantha.

“They have different personalities,” she explained. “I’m waiting for them to get older so I can see if they have her [Samantha’s] brown eyes and seriousness.”

Before Samantha died, Streisand had cells taken from the dog’s mouth and stomach for replicating purposes.

She also has a third dog, Miss Fanny, who is a distant cousin of Samantha.

Again… the dogs have “different personalities” … so I just don’t get it.

It’s her money… so she can choose to squander it however she likes. And I have no problem with people purchasing full-breed puppies from breeders (as long as they’re not puppy mills. I DO take issue with that.)

This just seems so…. frivolous.

So next time Babs goes on some unhinged rant about Conservatives…

Just remember what you’re dealing with here.
