A Montana man pleaded guilty to two felony wildlife crimes – a conspiracy to violate the Lacey Act and substantively violating the Lacey Act – as part of an almost decade-long effort to create giant sheep hybrids in the United States with an aim to sell the species to captive hunting facilities.
Had to read the story to see if the situation really is as weird and pathetic as the headline makes it sound.
It is, but worse. For starters, the guy is 80.
He started this whole enterprise when he was 71, in 2013, fwiw.
