I think it is fantastic that we have new technology and they are using it to help injured animals.
The amazing thing is the generosity of the people working with the technology. In each case they have to find a new solution. None of the animals has the same need. They jump in there and find a way and if the first idea doesn't work they keep trying new things. The goose with the prosthetic in priceless. He just know he can walk. He doesn't care how or why.
Animals adapt very well to handicaps. We could learn from them and of course working to produce new limbs is teaching the people who use the printers. Who knows what they will be able to build some day.
