Yeah, they’re cute — as puppies.

But they will grow up to be bigger, stronger wolves. Do we really need more wolves around? Eating our livestock and occasional human?

Not really!!!!!

They should de-extimct something safer, like passenger pigeons or dodods.

Just what the world needs! A stone age predator brought back from extinction, one that can kill and eat almost any animal on earth!!

They are NOT dire wolves. They are wolves that have some genetic changes to imitate a dire wolf.

Ever heard of a Kodiak/Grizzly? (On my hunt list. Muskox and Bighorn as well. Then I will be satisfied.)

Yes lets turn a bunch of them loose in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. The Canadian timber wolves just weren’t bad enough. 😏

Sounds like Jurassic Park. I know it’s just a movie but still.
