It's not really though, specifically because they are considered invasive to Montana. This thought experiment loses all merit in this case under that context.

He fucked up in multiple ways, outside of the cloning.

The animal (or 'parts') he imported was illegal and engangered. And he was set to further endanger the Montana flock with it's introduction.

This guy is a menace, F him.

EDIT: Oh yeah I forgot - all this effort was to sell the illegally imported / created animal which endangers the native animal population to bolster his business of raising unusual animals specifically for closed big game trophy hunting.

So he is fine with risking Montanas wildlife population to enrich himself and 'create' new franken-animals specifically to kill them when they are the right size.

I hope this guy perishes of old age in jail and this has a chilling effect on anyone else pulling this crap.
