Christina Ficara - All Headline News Staff WriterSACRAMENTO, CA (AHN) - California lawmakers denied a proposal to ban the sale of cloned pets, Tuesday.Creators of the proposal argued for the pet-clone ban because the technology was unregulated and animal shelters were already filled to capacity with potential pets. The proposed ban came after the first sale of a cloned pet last year by Sausalito, California-based Genetic Savings & Clone Inc.The company revealed in December it had cloned a cat - named Little Nicky after its progenitor, Nicky - for a client in Texas for $50,000. The privately held company financed by billionaire John Sperling has said it has other cat clones in various stages of production and is developing a dog-cloning service.
