I found this to be an amusing representation of the potential wider environmental fears associated with Genetic Modification. From the cartoon, it seems that the bear has eaten the genetically modified salmon, resulting in unforeseen changes in the bear's genetic makeup by giving it the ability to jump streams like a fish. Clearly the cartoonist is being humorous, but it indicates that some consider GM to be dangerous on the grounds that we cannot be sure of its wider impacts across ecosystems in the future.
Nice cartoon :P Whilst (in my experience) these views and misconceptions seem to be fairly common in the US, how prevalent have you found them to be in the UK?
