i think the issue is that milking spiders sucks so they want to move into genetically altering some other animal to produce it en mass. Last i read they were trying something with goats( SAVE THE GOATS ) to genetically modify the milk they make to make spider silk. metal as fuck.

Do they do whatever spider goats can?

I saw that article about the goats while I was searching for this one.
Crazy what you can come up with when it comes to not wanting to die.

I saw a video of them milking goats and extracting the silk, I can't find it now but it was interesting
