I thought that the person's age was often taken into account? I think it's silly to put someone 6mos in jail for creating a hybrid, but it's even worse when we're talking about a 81yo.

So long as a person is clear in their mind there is no such thing as age being a factor in their sentencing.

FTA: The US district court judge Brian Morris said […] he weighed Schubarth’s age and lack of a criminal record with a sentence that would deter anyone else from trying to “change the genetic makeup of the creatures” on the Earth

  Wow. Wait until he hears about dogs, cats, chickens, bees, sheep, ligers, corn, potatoes, strawberries, etc. etc. etc. I really hope this guy wins his appeal, or at least gets his sentence commuted. What a farce.

    Yeah this article's written so it sounds like the cloning process is the problem but a sentence in the article mentions the big issue is likely illegally obtaining the animal DNA from another country. Hes a cum smuggler it would appear.

    > The US district court judge Brian Morris said […] deter anyone else from trying to “change the genetic makeup of the creatures”. Why does this judge feel entitled to be the arbiter of the genetic makeup of creatures on Earth? > They are protected under international convention as a threatened species and outlawed for import into Montana to protect native sheep from disease and hybridization. These are reasonable concerns, you generally shouldn't move plants or animals across international (or U.S. state) boundaries, but the if the species is threatened then wouldn't people breeding more of them be a good thing? This seems like a weird case where I think it's illegal under the Lacey Act because they're endangered but by importing them he's making them less endangered. This article seems outraged about this calling it an "audacious scheme" (as opposed to a technicality) while Humans have been breeding sheep for size and other characteristics for thousands of years.

  Meanwhile we got an experimental "vaccine" that doesn't cure or prevent disease, but does cause weird cancers, blood clots, and other effects.
