New Startup Launches to Create Gene-Modified Dogs for Military and Law Enforcement

What happened

A new company called Warhound, founded by Palmer Luckey and Ben Lamm, has launched with plans to breed and genetically modify dogs for military and law enforcement use. The company has reportedly raised $200 million and achieved a $1.2 billion valuation, according to some outlets, despite not yet producing any dogs. The dogs will be cloned and gene edited to optimize them for working roles.
