Had you been around in the last days of the Mammoth no doubt you would have said the same

Re: De-extincting mammoths
No thanks. Bring mammoths back to do what? Put in a zoos? Raise them to turn into expensive rugs? Even better, how about we bring them back Lazarus style so we can turn around and kill them in zillion dollar canned trophy hunting to conduct in the name of "conservation"? Or, how about we use the tissue and blood of every single one for life-threatening disease research?No thanks! We are spoiled children who don't deserve the creatures that we already have - looking at every single one like a meal, a way to make a dollar, or a way to improve our own sorry species. Bringing mammoths back would be akin to putting a teenager behind the wheel of Buggati.
Our species has waaaaaaay to much time and money on its hands.

Of interest, there are many models that report that an estimated 99% of all species (about 5 billion) that ever existed on Earth are extinct.
