An 81-year-old rancher has been sentenced to six months in prison for his role in a long-term scheme to clone and breed giant hybrid sheep for captive trophy hunting. The man was found guilty of cloning and breeding illegal sheep using smuggled DNA and illegally trafficked body parts. Over the course of 10 years, he created a hybrid species that drew the attention of wildlife authorities, ultimately leading to his sentencing for federal wildlife trafficking charges. The case highlights the ongoing issues surrounding wildlife trafficking and the ethical concerns related to breeding animals for sport.
