Re: Jurassic Park - here we come!

Imagine one of them crapping in your garden, or burying a bone in the middle of your lawn.

Re: Jurassic Park - here we come!

Eeeewww, just imagine the pong! Also, if they became domesticated, would you want one of them leaping onto your lap for a cuddle?

Again, seriously, they are creatures from a time gone by. They had their time on earth and they are part of our paeleontogical history and, as the creatures of today, they will pass through into obscurity and should most definitely NOT be returned. Indeed, Woolly Mammoths did live and co-habit with humans and they were as beautiful and docile of the elephants we know today, but just imagine if such a magnificient creature was brought back. It would be enslaved in a zoo for folk to gawp at rather than allow it to be free, which all animals have a right to do.

Imagine if there were zoos for humans. The playpen for toddlers, then a pen for teenagers who can't interact with their own kind; then we'd have one for 30 year olds who've been dragged away from their families etc through the years, then the old folk. Animals have their own families, be they zebras, lions, apes etc and they care about their own, just as we do, and it's appalling what humans subject animals to in the name of entertainment.

We should be focusing on the poor creatures that still remain today who are in desperate need of survival like tigers, polar bears, silver-backed gorillas, tuna, ruddy ducks, and many many other species who are seriously in danger of becoming extinct because of man's greed or lack of compassion and understanding.

Re: Jurassic Park - here we come!

Don't worry it can't happen, there is no DNA in a fossil. As the article said even Mammoths are problematical. A recently extinct specie like Tassie Tiger is the best chance.

Re: Jurassic Park - here we come!

What would be the point?

Re: Jurassic Park - here we come!

Yeah. I want something to eat all the dogs. That thing looks just like a dog - albeit an ugly one .

Re: Jurassic Park - here we come!

I am aware that you are irrational about 'all' dogs but my question wasn't to the preceding post but about bringing back extinct species - didn't that go horribly wrong in Scotland when they reintroduced some kind of eagle to an area? (I think it was Scotland.)

Re: Jurassic Park - here we come!

Pretty sure as soon as they are able to they will, just to prove a point.

Re: Jurassic Park - here we come!

Well... for those interested... Here's some fossilized dinosaur poop they dug up.. Not sure how they know that.. but here it si for your viewing pleasure..

Re: Jurassic Park - here we come!

Ok... so I'm guessing a pic of dinosaur poop is crass... right?

Re: Jurassic Park - here we come!

Yes...
