You wouldn’t commodify an animal to the extent that you clone and breed it exclusively for rich losers to “hunt” them in enclosed outdoor spaces using helicopters and four wheelers.

The summary in the screenshot is wild.

I agree with you with the fact that it’s wild, very distopian sci-fi.

However, even it this very much an ethical no-no, I’m not sure which bit is the technically illegal part.

If he were selling normal sheep, that would be perfectly legal. Nobody would bat an eyelid, despite being similar treatment to animals.

Is it the cloning that is illegal? If he were to clone a species on the brink of extinction to re-populate an area, would that be ethical but illegal?

Is the problem that he’s cloning without authorisation? Who decides whether we can bring new animals to life via cloning? Is there a Ministry of Clones that needs to authorise people to clone stuff?

Jurassic park but just for hunting. Everything is free range and they “can’t use electronics” as the animals sense it and run away.

“Breeding it” and “breeding from it” sound very different to my mind.
