“They have different personalities,” Streisand said. “I’m waiting for them to get older so I can see if they have her [Samantha’s] brown eyes and seriousness.”Since pet cloning is not yet a common practice, even among wealthy celebrities, the story rocketed around the internet.The president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wasn’t thrilled to hear the news.“[W]hen you consider that millions of wonderful adoptable dogs are languishing in animal shelters every year or dying in terrifying ways when abandoned, you realize that cloning adds to the homeless-animal population crisis,” Ingrid Newkirk told the New York Post. “And because cloning has a high failure rate, many dogs are caged and tormented for every birth that actually occurs — so that’s not fair to them, despite the best intentions. We feel Barbra’s grief at losing her beloved dog but would also love to have talked her out of cloning.” Streisand might not be the only celebrity who has cloned a pet. According to Money, a Korean company had cloned at least 600 dogs, at $100,000 a piece, by 2015. The newer American company ViaGen now clones dogs for half that price and clones cats for a quarter of that price.And as Barbra sings, she likes people and dogs “The Way We Were.”
