I don't really understand why that is illegal considering that it's pretty similar to what the meat industry does. Maybe there are some laws to protect against invasive species, but he didn't want to free them. Maybe dealing with poachers? Maybe he just needed a license?
CITES is the international treaty.
The offspring of wild animals are still very wild, even when crossbred with a domesticated breed. If they wanted to do it, they needed to get a licence to do it. That they did not get a licence suggests they knew they would not be granted one. Because breeding fancy animals for rich people to shoot is not a good justification.
Oh so being rich enough to hire legal counsel to get you the permit makes you qualified? Got it
Licensed breeders and keepers of captive wild animals are certainly wealthier than yer average Joe. But if you're trying to argue that these offenders are being punished for their poverty, you really, really ought to read the article first.
I was like "who cares, cool science stuff. Free that man." Until you said the above.
I think they took too big swig from twistonium bottle. Instead of "guy was organizing an illegal thing and it turned out he jumped through quite a few hoops to get to that point", they made it sound like the breeding part was bad
Ah, ok.
On a separate note: Cloning giant sheep from poached ones sounds kinda like a supervillain and I now want to clone my own army of poached animals.
Oh yeah, I'm impressed that it works so well that he only needed like pieces from one killed animal to succeed
Part of it is also importing animal tissue (and sperm) without the proper paperwork and approval.
That's a BIG no-no.
Yeah I seem to remember some kind of global illness thing recently. Probably best to avoid that happening again.
The breeding part is what violated state, federal, and international law.
The breeding itself? Because these are wild? Or do you need some license to breed animals?
You didn't read the article, did you?
I did. I don't get how the creation of the breed was the illegal part and not the creating "shooting range"
From the article:
It doesn't matter that they wanted to shoot the hybrids. They could have been making a petting zoo and it would have still been illegal.
Both this and the meat industry should be illegal 🤷
