And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.

So I thought this idea was genius.

The powers that be disagreed.

So a Montana breeder, Jack Shubarth, apparently smuggled Argolly genetic material into the U.S.

Now the Argolly sheep are the largest wild sheep on earth. Okay. And what he wanted to do

and what he did was clone this ram named Montana Mountain King.

He used the MMK's seaman to create hybrids, bread for trophy hunting preserves.

Now, to me, that's a genius idea.

Apparently, it's not a genius idea because he was going to sell giant hybrid sheep to hunting operations

because hunters would pay thousands of dollars for a chance to kill animals engineered for that size.

Now, they're cloned animals.

But apparently, this 81-year-old Montana man sent since now to six months in prison

for illegally cloning an endangered Marco Polo Argolly sheep, nicknamed the Montana Mountain

King. The cloned ram was used to create hybrids designed for trophy hunting.

Yeah.

Authorities say the case highlights how powerful biotech can be exploited, raising urgent questions

about conservation and ethics.

Uh, I mean, he found a way to save your endangered species by cloning them,

making them bigger, and then he was gonna charge people

to go hunt them because they wanted to kill the larger animal,

but they were cloned animals.
