An 80-year-old man in Montana pleaded guilty Tuesday to two felony wildlife crimes involving his plan to let paying customers hunt sheep on private ranches. But these weren’t just any old sheep. They were “massive hybrid sheep” created by illegally importing animal parts from central Asia, cloning the sheep, and then breeding an enormous hybrid species.
Wait, how did he clone the sheep? That’s a key part that seems to be glossed over.
The man cloned an animal and made a hybrid super sheep and the article just barely mentions the cloning!
It’s like if a guy got stopped while riding a motorcycle with a shark over his shoulder, and a news article only mentioned the shark in passing. Explain the shark, please!
Edit: spelling

He sent them into a lab to get cloned and then implanted the embryos into ewes. He got one pure argali male sheep out of that and then artificially inseminated other ewes with the argali sheep to produce hybrids.
Thanks!
What an inventive way to circumnavigate livestock import laws.
This man is clearly an evil genius.
