surgical removal then bredding would'nt create venomoid hatchys no, since the genes are still there. but if you spliced/cut genes responsible for the formation of venom/glands in a certain number of embryo's perhaps then bred from them, yes, you would have a non ven rrb. Wether that would be any more ethical however is another issue. sounds a bit like deliberating creating hybrids. Certainly be less cruel than surgery, but then the issue of wether or not the venom aids in digestion or not comes up. If it does then you may hit problems, since the new animals digestive system would perhaps not function as well with whatever process the venom does???
intresting thoughts Soul. :wink:
