I'd reframe to portray that it hasn't been approved to do so by a regulatory body like the EPA, or else GM mosquitoes [1] wouldn't exist.

The genetic modifications were classified as a biocontrol or pesticide, allowing them fall under the existing EUP process. I wonder whether showing that these sheep were being used to control a local crop pest would qualify them as a technical argument? :D
