   I, for one, welcome our new massive mutant #sheep overlord.

     @kaia @masterdon1312 i don't understand what the crime is.
     Selective breeding is both legal and common.
     Was some of the DNA protected by bayer or some shit?

     breeding with real animals is called green genetic engineering and we have been doing it long before walking upright as a species. People always fear the more precise "artifical" ways of genetic modifications for reasons beyond rational basis. They just hate non-random tampering

     @kaia @masterdon1312 ah ok got it. He chose the wrong testicles to import:

     »These massive sheep are protected internationally by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species. They are likewise protected by the U.S. Endangered Species Act, and more specifically prohibited in Montana to protect native sheep populations from diseases and hybridization.«

     The state knew grifters want the testicles of the marco polo argali sheep so it already was forbidden.

     @kaia @masterdon1312 don't know about you guys but this dude and his peers successfully ran this business for decades. All of which legal, except the giant sheep for hunting trophies thing.

     When I'm 80 I am quite willing to be the fall guy for my family business and friends.
     Two felony charges? Who cares that person is 80.
     Faking documents and willingly smuggeling peotected animal DNA is a big deal. Probably a good move to let all fingers point to me and enjoy the free health care of prison
