> Arthur “Jack” Schubarth, 81, illegally imported body parts of Marco Polo argali sheep

> The sheep, native to the mountains of the Pamir region of Central Asia, are protected by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (Cites).

> They are prohibited in Montana to protect native sheep from disease - as well as to prevent the creation of hybrids.

It sounds like he broke two laws - one about importation of animal parts, and one for having a living animal that's prohibited in Montana.

> But then why is it written that he was jailed for cloning the sheep.

Because it's a catchy headline.
