Killer Convicted, Using Dog DNA Database

lee1 writes "It turns out that the UK has a DNA database — for dogs. And this database was recently used to apprehend a South London gang member who used his dog to catch a 16-year-old rival and hold him while he stabbed him to death. The dog was also accidentally stabbed, and left blood at the scene. The creation of human DNA databases has led to widespread debates on privacy; but what about the collation of DNA from dogs or other animals?"

I can't think of anything more Orwellian than claiming that having some number of legs is better than some other number of legs.

You appear to be lying. The database is mentioned in the first paragraph.I'll never trust you again, anonymous.
