"His actions threatened Montana's native wildlife species for no other reason than he and his co-conspirators wanted to make more money," said Todd Kimm, assistant attorney general.
"Working with at least five other conspirators, he sent the genetic material to a lab to create cloned embryos that he used to implant in ewes on his ranch."
"Armed with his golden goose, Schubert then bred MMK with other ewes, with the goal of creating even larger versions of Marco Polo sheep."
"Without even getting into the ethics of cloning, this was incredibly reckless. At least two of the cloned sheep that Schubert bred died from a contagious, chronic wasting illness."
