Cows Identified by Retinal Imaging

Posted by michael on from the don't-blink dept.

wackoman2112 writes "According to this article, ranchers on western cattle ranches are keeping track of their cattle with the "OptiReader," a small handheld which takes retinal scans. They scan a cow's eye and record information in the database about the animal's color, weight, and genetic linage. Hmmm... This could be justification for a YRO for animals."

    This is a Michael POST.

    DO NOT post ANYTHING that he might disagree with! You will be mod-bommed to death.
    Do NOT disagree that this tripe of "news" is actually news. He "KNOWS" it is.

    Of course, he sits on his wittle seat with mods ready to go. The little turd thinks he's god. Oh well. Like I care.

    I'll just lie and get more +5'es when I need it. You watch. Back up to 50 karma ready to troll you again.
