An 81-year-old Montana man was sentenced on Monday to six months in federal prison for illegally using tissue and testicles from large sheep hunted in central Asia and the US to create hybrid sheep for captive trophy hunting in Texas and Minnesota.
Why the fuck is this about boring legal stuff and not the titanic frankestein sheep menacing the nation?! I want to know about the sheep! What is it’s name? What are it’s dreams? What is the death toll of it’s latest rampage?
the titanic frankestein sheep menacing the nation
Isn’t that a Spinal Tap lyric?
its name is Montana Mountain King
In the balls of the montana mountain king

Sounds like it would make a good movie.
Reminds me of how the Nazis bread super cows so they could fight them.
Say ‘psyche’ right now; that’s too cartoonish
Okay so apparently the whole “bread to fight” thing was a bit of an exaggeration, they were bread to resemble a now extinct breed of wild bull that showed up a lot in Greek mythology but most zoologist today agree they weren’t even close to right.
Heck Cattle
Comrades, there can be only one solution to this threat. We must create the Heck Bear.
To combat the Heck Bear we’ll have to create the Heck Badger.
Aurochs are pretty insane in how long they managed to stick around. But for sure they’re basically just aggressive cows.
what the heck
Did they really breed them to fight? I thought it was part of the Nazis “Aryan” heritage bullshit.
I think Goring did have some put on a private game reserve to be hunted yes
This is also why Germany now has a wild raccoon population that is taking over Berlin, nazis just don’t get that raccoons will always outsmart them.
Typical Bejiing Biden crushing innovation with communist regulations. Why can’t the free market determine what horrors are beyond comprehension?
Six months in federal prison? Cowards. He should be sentenced to a “The hunter has become the hunted” type of situation and it should be televised. Unleash his sheep on him, I want to see if he made them giant and ferocious enough or if he stopped just short of greatness.
Ah yeah, but if he did it to livestock it would be fine
(sheep are livestock)
Nobody likes a pedant
Aw sweet, manmade horrors beyond my comprehension
Retvrn to silly shenanigans.
Shame about invasive species
Yeah further fucking up the ecosystem by letting loose some cruel creation is not funny or cool.
OTOH, the potential is there to stabilize the ecosystem by letting loose some well-thought out and helpful creations, which is pretty exciting
Obviously not this guy
I think the rule of thumb in ecology is not to create or release any chimera into an ecosystem, because biological systems being extremely complex and wide we can’t really know the impact of an introduction fully.
but what if we chimeratize every species in an ecosystem and release that into the wild so that no matter how much it spreads there’s always the right balance
I generally agree with that rule but increasingly worry that we may be reaching a point of desperate measures
US man, 81, sentenced to six months for creating giant hybrid sheep for hunting humans
Average self-described “animal-lover”
Like oryx and crake but way stupider.
Ok no actually this feels about in line with oryx and crake, ngl.
81 year old US man fucking around with sheep genetics… Go on Chapo?!
