There is a reason animals die out IMO bringing them back is quite cruel because they will just die out again unless we change our ways very drastically to allow them space and food etc. I have watched in slight horror where they bring in species like eagles and hawks etc as without human help they cannot survive and when they do bring them back it seems in far greater numbers than would naturally be in an area because they are being artificially fed and looked after.

Not really crass but it made me think of that stuff they cook on a spit to make kebabs with so that turned my stomach a bit ...

I think it also adversely affected the animals already established in that area and caused them to go into decline as the eagles/hawks were picking them off; as you have said - if they died off naturally, it was for a reason.

I think if you met me in real life that would not be in question, we spend most of our lives laughing here.

It is not a dog nor is it related to dogs/wolves. For a start it is a marsupial and it was the introduction of dogs that contributed to its demise.
