On the down side what is in that one animal now?
@Gerri4321 There has been a lot of research and experimentation into the science of cloning-- so much in fact that the idea of 'cloning' itself is practically old-hat at this point. You might recall the much ballyhooed arrival of "Dolly the Sheep" from way back in the mid 1990's. Here is a web page that goes into more detail about "Dolly the Sheep" and animal cloning in general: [animalresearch.info].
I think the quick answer to your question is that they do clone other animals, have performed (are performing) research into the possibilities of "laboratory grown" food (meat) sources, but the present consensus is most likely to be that the old-fashioned methods are still the most productive and cost-effective at this point.
Do you have any specific questions about cloning or are you just looking for info in general?
