Oh sure, when some guy in a lab coat does it they get the Nobel prize. I try to combine a bear and a pig, and all of a sudden someone wants to make a Federal case out of it
The bear-pig part merely raised eyebrows. Manbearpig is what got the feds involved.
to “change the genetic makeup of the creatures” on the Earth.
Like dog breeds, hybrid vegetables, racehorses, or any other myriad of plants and animals that we selectively alter the traits of?
He was releasing them back into the wild. There’s a difference between domestication and fucking with the ecosystem imo.
So you just make shit up to post? Did you even read the article? Show me where it says that he was releasing them into the wild? I have a feeling if you even opened the link you just looked at the pretty pictures because the first paragraph says:
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
I must’ve missed that part. I thought it was only for captive hunting, which wouldn’t make it any different than the other exotic animals kept on captive hunting farms
Na the dude you responded to is just making shit up. Nothing in the article says anything about releasing them into the wild and specifically says for captive hunting.
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
“I will have to work the rest of my life to repair everything I’ve done,” Schubarth told the judge just before sentencing.
You’re 81. The rest of your life is not very long.
That’s why he has a full automatic ready to take those hybrids out the game
He’s creating hybrid version of himself, duh!
Oh. He wants to hunt to the sheep. He wants to create them, let them loose, and then hunt them.
I was imagining the sheep would be his hunting companion, like he’s a modern day Paul Bunyan with a giant sheep instead of an ox.
Well now I’m thinking of Babe the Blue Ox as being a mighty hunter.
Maybe they call him the blue ox because he crushes his victims to death (starving them of oxygen!), leaving them blue?!
I have more questions than answers why testicle tissue? Was it an actual clone? Or just using sperm in the testicles? If a clone how?
While I knew cloning was possible, the fact that a random group was able to pull it off, is frankly scary as shit …
Sperm are stem cells, aren’t they? Maybe that’s why?
Sperm are stem cells
You’re close. Sperm aren’t stem cells, but the stem cells that differentiate into sperm are found in the testes.
