Animals get more protection than humans.

Semen from Montana Mountain King was used to artificially impregnate other ewes to create a larger and more valuable species of sheep ...

A species or a breed?

Illegally breeding with wild testicles can have serious consequences…

"A person who was not named in court documents shipped 74 ewes of a prohibited sheep species"

I think I found the FBI agent behind this story...

Who knew that it was illegal to bred sheep?

Izat ewe, Angus?

hunting preserves where people shoot captive trophy game animals for a fee.

That's not hunting......That's just target shooting at live animals for the bragging rights of a wall hanging.

Bighorn Sheep are actually small critters. Is that picture photoshopped?

The man is standing 20' behind the sheep.

IMHO,

The guy did nothing wrong.

If a bio-tech firm mettle’s with the DNA of sheep that is OK, right?

[Jeff Vader]

The lack of humility before nature that’s being displayed here, uh... staggers me.

I do not understand where he was guilty of anything. He harvested part of a dead animal.

WOW! Maybe there actually was something to that “GOAT GLANDS” hype 100 years ago!

Mongolia is the only country where hunting for the Altay argali is legal. Mongolian mountain desert steppe is an ideal habitat for Sheep and Ibex. This country became one of the most popular destinations for mountain hunters who expect a well-organized hunt.

The average trophy size is 52-54 inches, with a number of trophies taken in excess of 55-58 inches.

This magnificent Sheep inhabits Altay Mountains of western Mongolia, Russia and Kazakhstan.

I remember reading, years ago, that the large Texas deer were actually Wisconsin deer captured and moved to the Texas hunting ranches.

Why not just capture Montana goats and ship them to Texas?

If this is the worst crime anyone ever commits I think the world is safe. 🙄

“”I thought diversity was strength, and we should welcome all dna across our borders with open arms ?””

Quick one....funny and true! I guess there’s some objection to the countries it came from...which makes them prejudiced....

[higgmeister]

No, but my grandmother was a Burnett.

As unusual as this sounds, how is this different than breeding a new species of cow?
Unwise maybe without taking a close look at the genetics but criminal, I don’ think so.

so you are not Angus the sheep shagger?
