They are mostly farmed for science and/or their poison but I'm hoping for the mutated spider bite... Who doesn't want to swing through the city like Spider Man?
Thankfully I've since found out it was a photoshopped joke. I thought as much because I've never heard of a spider farm anywhere in the UK - or anywhere else for that matter!!!
Indeed. The same book enumerated all the different species of spider and made comparison with the human population of the plantet and pointed out that the odds were 76000-1 in favour of the spider :S
My dad was in the army and his base was stationed. Right next to a tarantula breeding ground. If you disturbed them you would be fined and they just had free range of this who park. So not a farm but gross right
All I could think about, when I saw the sign, was Spiderman. (After all, he was created... ummm... yes, created, by being bit by a radioactive spider. XD )

An infestation of mutant-glow-in-the-dark spiders might liven the place up.
