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?

        Heck Cattle

        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.

          Comrades, there can be only one solution to this threat. We must create the Heck Bear.

          Aurochs are pretty insane in how long they managed to stick around. But for sure they're basically just aggressive cows.

          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.

        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
