    The main problem (been loosely following it for a bit) was that he essentially created a hybrid sheep with one that is invasive for the area. He for sure did it for trophy hunting, but at the risk of messing up the ecology of the areas he was putting it in. Arguably this is a kind minor fine ($20k for introducing an invasive species), so idk. The articles I’ve seen act mostly like it wasn’t a big deal, but he was pretty blatently trying to skirt the law through the use of trying to make a hybrid.
