Cloning? (T2B20)

When I was browsing through a few articles, I came across this one Link, which apparently stated that China will begin cloning animals for food in 2016 due to the insufficient amount of poultry and meats being produced recently. 

I'm not very sure if this news is true, because I'm sure a lot of people would be against this idea... However, if the clones really are used for the purpose of food, I think that this method of producing more food is an effective method to feed our growing population. Let's just hope that humans won't be the future animals going into these cloning machines.
