Arthur Schubarth was sentenced to six months in prison for trafficking cloned Marco Polo argali sheep, highlighting the intersection of wildlife crime and animal cloning.
The case against Schubarth and the potential for dozens of MMK's descendants roaming the U.S. in a wildlife trafficking context raises significant ethical and ecological concerns.
This unusual case may be one of the few instances in the U.S. where wildlife crime involves animal cloning, shedding light on legal gaps in wildlife protection.
The transportation and insemination of ewes in Schubarth's case illustrate a complex network of individuals participating in big game hunting and animal trafficking.
