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.
THIS. IS. FUCKING. AWESOME.
Did you read the article? There’s something just a little uncool about genetically modifying animals to be more profitable hunting trophies. Dude can rot for all I care.
We do it to the food we eat, whys there a line?
He smuggled bits of endangered sheep from Europe.
Yeah the way he did it wasn’t the best and if any escapes there’s definitely potentially downsides, but at the same time, the ingenuity is something else.
We eat to sustain life.
And entertainment is just as important to a satisfying full life as food is. Once mental health starts declining, so does everything else, even basic health. So it’s arguably even more important, since depression can kill your will to hunt/forage or even eat.
Nah, I have to disagree. Is it completly morally bankrupt? Almost certainly. Is it uncool though? Nah, that is mad-scientist-grade cool as fuck. I will graciously accept y’all’s excoriation.
I did indeed read the article
Felicitations, dear fellow!
