HOW AWESOME IS THIS?

1. This seems like the sort of thing I’d want tried by a jury and not a regional / district judge who has relatives in the agriculture community and areas around Great Falls MT. I like the area…

   May dovetail nicely with the sheep simply declaring they’re “just sheep” and ya’ll should be more accepting instead of being all Karen Judgy-Pants on everything.

2. But it’s Ok for the government to clone bat viruses….

   1. But that only killed 5 or 10 million people. Insignificant.

   2. True, ^^^^ up.
      Compared to bat soup,
      This breeder should be awarded the Nobel prize for economy food production. .
      Imagine Canadian beef with 900 lbs of filet mignon. 1 cut would last me a month.

   3. Well, ummm, that was science! So there. (said no sane person)

3. what should we clone in Saskatchewan?

   and not any kind of effing deer, there’s already too many that we can’t legally shoot.

   1. Let’s hybridize them with jackrabbits to save on car insurance.

      1. Just imagine the speed you could get from a Jackalope (Pronghorn / Jack Rabbit cross)

      2. Fifth level trolling. / applause/

      3. Lol
         Heil yeah

      4. Thank you Kate, needed some comic relief.

      5. Then pit them against that gecko in a cage match! Then the emu!

      6. So, hundred pound monsters that eat everything and breed like rabbits?

4. So some random dude can get a bunch of embryo’s created for an endangered species, but world governments are just letting endangered species die?

   1. NOW, somebody else gets the “picture”.

5. Fail to see the States Problem.
   What would the crime be?
   By cloning from imported parts,AKA dead meat,the risk of disease was defeated.
   And Hybrid Sheep?
   Every Sheep farmer is guilty.
   With a little bit more “Gene engineering” he coulda made them meat eaters,solving all kinds of “inspection” problems.

6. Didn’t they make a movie like this once?

   1. The Hunt for the Killer Sheep.

      1. no, that was Monty Python with that rabbit. Imagine replicating that lagomorpha and replacing your canine protection?

      2. I remembered that movie I had nightmares.

7. The animal parts seem to be straws of sheep semen, unless the article was so poorly written (not a safe assumption)

   Looks like the rancher came up with a scheme to meet a market need, increase diversity, and bring back a version that is at near extinction… should have done it in a more free place.

8. I’ve been a little nervous about the whole cloning thing since the South Koreans (who really had no Bio history) suddenly show up with cloned sheep and cows. They, also, initially said that they had successfully cloned a human being, but it turned out to be very pre-mature and just a cluster of cells.

   Personally, I’d be perfectly content if any and all cloning would just disappear and not be pursued. But, no one ever accused scientists of having common sense. It’s not that I don’t trust the clones….I just don’t trust the people who make clones feasible.

   1. Army of human clones might be needed to fight the AI terminators

   2. Nothing ever goes back in Pandora’s box.

9. Are they man-eating. That would certainly add a little spice to the sheep hunt. LOL

10. Ian Malcolm, call your office.

11. What the man needs is an Island off Costa Rico and a nice white suit with a fedora.

12. Great, more sheep. Just what the Western World needs.

    Where did this story first appear …. National Enquirer?

13. Just like how the Canada Goose, Elk , Wild Turkey, Whitetail deer, were saved from extinction / extirpration and re-populated, it’ll be hunters like this hero that will save the Marco Polo sheep from extinction.

    Why aren’t we hunting mastadons yet?

14. I’ve always wanted to shoot a frankenanything.

15. Cloning without a license. That’s a crime now? Or is he being charged because he was successful?

    1. He represents a challenge to government authority.

       The End.

16. Any mammals you care for.
    But no Damm Snakes.

    1. Ever seen the snake fences (I kid you not) in northern Ontario?

       1. They have them in South Okanagan vineyards.
          Only about 8 inches high string of cotton or something.
          Seen and stepped over them, first hand.

17. Almost all the salmon and trout in the great lakes system were introduced species and maintain the sports fishery.
    A lot of our songbirds are introduced.
    All the gubmint policies to contain invasive species are a total failure, like, zebra mussel, emerald ash borer, purple loosestrife and phragmites.
    The gubmint will bring in more useless regulations and draconian laws like banning live bait very soon and still fail.

18. James Bond meets Deliverance with baaaa’d genetic research villain, Dr. Kn-ewe.

19. It would be cool if the mountain goats would do the sheep herders. Nudge nudge wink wink.

20. Al Franken sheep?
    Isn’t one enough?

    Who can condone messing with nature, next they’ll be bringing back extinct animals and making men into women!

21. This was an audacious scheme to create massive hybrid sheep species to be sold and hunted as trophies,”

    That ain’t Schitt compared to the audacious plan for the destruction of America the criminals in DC are implementing.

22. I give you the Kiwi movie Black Sheep: https://youtu.be/Hhck0SLcA6I?si=ir2ZV5YcgZ65e5ik
