For one thing there are a lot of wierdoes who fear this type of gengineering
and the animals have a very real risk of being killed by various groups
opposing gengineering. Second the material they are producing no doubt cost
the research companies involved a LOT of money and they don't want anyone
dealing in a bit of industrial espionage.

Also its an environmental issue (note the rest of the article discussing
their location away from the river). That's because for all they know the
animals byproducts could now be toxic. Better safe then sorry.

ObSR: I wonder how many runs involve stealing various "pharm" animals
involved in producing various chemical compounds....
