  • Should they resurrect mammoths?

    Better start thinking about the ethics as they're sequencing the DNA from a frozen one found in Siberia;

    Scientists have mapped part of the genome of the woolly mammoth, a huge mammal that's been extinct for about 10,000 years.

    If they're extinct because of hunting...why not.

      but where would they live? Alaska? Canada? both have human populations that would be assumed as territory for these huge ranging creatures.

      If allowed, what about bring thier natural predator back as well? to prevent over population.....(sabretooth tiger/bears) what would locals say to that ?

          Well that depends.

          Are you an advocate of gun control?



          I ask because if you bring back mammoths, you really also need to issue mammoth hunting licenses to the Innuit in order to manage the herds.

          But gun control types don't believe in herd management.

              that may be a tad warm for them, being wooly and all...
              Stick them up in the tundras in northern Canada, along with some sabre tooth tigers

                Sure, now that the DEW line is gone, that would be our first (and only) line of defence

                    I say bring em back if we can, and do they dodo's while they are at it(I heard they are very tasty)

                    But realisticly I don't think the can can get enough genetic diversty into such a herd to make viable, It would be pretty sad bring them into existance again just as curisoty to die a lonely death

                      Or build a double fence and fill the corridor with velociraptors.

                        Yeah but then the crafty raptors would get out and start their own drug operation.

                          Well...the fence will be there anyhow. Congress just voted 239-182 to fence several hundred more miles of the Mexican border, along with other changes to the immigration laws;

                          The House last night passed a major border enforcement and immigration security bill after approving amendments ending the diversity visa lottery program and requiring immigration authorities to complete background checks before granting an immigration benefit.

                            I found what you said to be sad and really funny at the same time. I imagined a sad mammoth standing there all by his lonesome. Poor fella.
