Montana man to be sentenced for cloning giant sheep to breed large sheep for captive trophy hunts
An 81-year-old Montana man is expected to be sentenced for using tissue and testicles from large sheep hunted in Central Asia and the US to illegally create hybrid sheep for captive trophy hunts in Texas and Minnesota.
In his request for the probationary sentence, Schubarth's attorney said cloning the giant Marco Polo sheep hunted in Kyrgyzstan has ruined his client's “life, reputation and family.”
