(Genetically Tampered) Animal Farm
The British beat us to it again. It's not the Beatles or the Bill of Rights, but a TV show that featured some of the most interesting animals being developed for pharmaceutical and food uses. Animal Farm aired in 2007 and was hosted by Giles Coren, provocative food writer for The Times, and Olivia Judson, reknown scientist reporter.
It aired for only four episodes, but includes segments on body builder cows and featherless chickens. Below is the youtube video of the segment on goats that produce spider silk (if you'd like, skip to 3:30 to see the bit about spider goats)
