Ultimately it has not been clarified what kinds of manufacturers and companies the ruby ​​was sold, but ruby ​​has been treated the same as ordinary sheep and something that is on the table It is seen.

Ruby was created as a "Green Sheep" that began in 2009, with a research program trying to visualize the heart transplant by making the skin transparent.

INRA director Benoît Malpaux says, "At present, human beings do not hurt their health even if they eat ruby ​​meat." By the way, shipping of ruby ​​was done by one of the officials intentionally cheating the boss and signing a document to send to the slaughterhouse, which should normally be noticed somewhere, It is regarded as having been missed because of mistakes made by persons in charge. This official is suspended from suspension.

Although the purpose of the staff is unknown, "We are a world-renowned research institution, this kind of situation is hard to acknowledge and we need to deal with it strictly," Malpaux said.
