Dirty Deeds...Done With Sheep!
Why is this a problem?
AI breeding is a very common thing. Artificial Insemination is vert common—I have close friends who did AI for many years with animals, and sent of animal sperm around the world.
He cloned a very large sheep. That was the horrible crime?
I was expecting him to admit to Carnal Knowledge of the Bo Peeps. At least he’s not doing that! PETA might have a cow. though.
If had created Sheep Flu and cut Dr. Falsehood in on the deal, he would have gotten government grants.
This, boys and girls, is why genetic tampering is a bad idea.
Well, dammit, the "unthinkable" became thinkable but it wasn't the unthinkable I had originally thought, but the thinking I thought so not so unthinkable was thinkable, at least in my thinking.
A baaaaaaaaaaad man indeed.
The more I think of it. I don’t like it.
These huge sheep would have grown up in an artificial environment, being fed and cared for. These sheep would have had no predators. They wouldn’t even learn what a Hunter was until it was too late. It would be like shooting fish in a barrel. No contest. All this, to get a gigantic pair of horns to hang on your wall for bragging rights?
Don’t seem Kosher to me.
Starts with sheep, advances to Kahn Noonian Singh.
Eugenics wars here we come!
Early in the morning of July 2, 2005, an unknown person abandoned a man in the emergency room of the Enumclaw Community Hospital. The man who'd been dropped off did not have a pulse. Attempts to revive him failed. The police were called to investigate the mystery. Video footage revealed the license-plate number of the vehicle that brought the dead man to the hospital. The number led authorities to a farm on a street I am not going to name, a street that ends at the gate of a home. On the other side of the gate is a private road shaded by towering poplars. South of the farm is a field of grass and scrub. In the distance is a flowing glacial river whose course marks the end of King County and the beginning of Pierce County—the White River. Beyond that, the base of the great volcano.
Police soon figured out that the man at the hospital had died after having anal sex with a horse.

I could understand all of this if the MM sheep were carnivorous or detrimental to the environment, eco system or to some other mammalian species. None of this so what’s the big deal? Embrace the new species, it probably tastes pretty good and yields meat wise better than other dominant sheep species here in America.
“ Schubart got a laboratory to create cloned embryos from Marco Polo argali sheep sperm.”
1. You can’t create an embryo from sperm.
2. I’m not sure what laws were broken.
Apparently, someone DID think of it.
I never made a ewe turn...
but I did make her eyes roll.
It was illegal to import Charolais cattle. Ranchers got around it by importing Charolais semen and back-hreed8ng with legal cattie until they had virtually pure Charolais.
I was going to clone an extremely rare emotionally stable woman. I was going to create a unicorn on the hot crazy mix, for the betterment of all mankind.
But it looks like there are laws against that sort of thing. I guess it’s back to Robotics.
Odd definition of cloning. AI is not cloning.
I was expecting a hunter biden story.
