Schubarth’s primary motivation for designing such a creature was to sell the sheep at an exorbitant price for captive trophy hunting in Texas and Minnesota.
I’m not sure how I feel about captive trophy hunting. On the one hand, these animals live to die (don’t we all?). On the other, I have to imagine larger healthy trophies are more valuable, so the animals are probably leading a healthy life.
But if you’re the kind of person who has to murder a captive animal in order to possess something to display, then I have to wonder if you missed the point of trophy hunting.

The point isn’t the thrill of the hunt, it’s the ostentatious display of the trophy that you can show off to all your guests
