If he succeeds, how much land will be set aside as wilderness habitat for the newly created “Endangered species”?
In what country, and who is going to pay to guard the damn thing?
If he makes more than one, will they be fertile?
How many to have a stable breeding population?
WHO is paying for all this?
And WHY?
Who would pay? We would—folks would line up and spend their money to see one! Every zoo in the world will want one. Think of what we could learn about them? As for land—I don’t see a great many being made. Also—they taste good—we can raise them to eat! The rich will pay $1,000 each for a Mammoth steak! No, I see this as a real capitalist gain!
Right now it sounds like he’s only trying to clone one. He would have to clone one of each sex in order to bring the Mammoth back into existence for good. I would suppose they would be as fertile as any clone and could be housed in a Zoo in Japan just like an elephant would. My guess is that there will be hundred of people wanting to invest in this sort of thing if he’s successful. Can you imagine how many millions would travel to Japan just to see this animal? If it works, a lot of folks are going to make a lot of money.
Q: If he succeeds, how much land will be set aside as wilderness habitat for the newly created Endangered species? A: All the National Grasslands (probably, like for buffalo), and all the hunting lodges in the Dakotas that can afford to invest in getting them.
Q: In what country, and who is going to pay to guard the damn thing? A: Russia, by crazy billionaires, and Dakota hunting lodge investors.
Q: If he makes more than one, will they be fertile? How many to have a stable breeding population? A: They’ll use every mammoth they can find, then call it enough.
Q: WHO is paying for all this? A: Crazy Russian billionaires.
Q: And WHY? A: Putin wants to be seen killing one with just a stone knife.
Reparations to the mammoths for the "mammoth hunters"?
How about the whole of Siberia?
The first ones will be a huge money maker. It wouldn’t matter who guards them as long as it isn’t government since they can easily pay for themselves.
