Abstract
Trans-Tamagotchi: Virtual Trans Ranch by Kathy High is a proposal to develop tamagotchi-like
virtual pets, along with an extensive website that will act as a hub for their activities. Trans-Tamagotchi:
Virtual Trans Ranch is being produced to encourage 1) familiarity with the work
that transgenic laboratory animals are engaged in and 2) an "interspecies culture" where care
and empathy is rewarded.
