    The Lacey Act of 1900 is a conservation law in the United States that prohibits trade in wildlife, fish, and plants that have been illegally taken, possessed, transported, or sold.[1]

    Yeah, the description there makes it sound like the issue is just that the source of the tissue wasn’t legal. The quote from the judge makes it sounds like the objection was that he was doing cloning and breeding at all.
