I was thinking the same thing. If it doesnt work out then just kill it and grill it. Mammoths went extinct because they tasted so damn good

I have no moral problem with cloning animals, present or past, but not people.
I am concerned that cloning extinct animals, plants, insects, etc. could reintroduce dangerous, extinct pathologies.
Just how big is a woolly mammoth tick filled with a pint of blood?

So where do they get the mitochondrial DNA
Ain't a clone without it
To: Renfield
Now some scientists are talking openly of bringing them back to life. What?
I am sure I saw one presiding over the Zimmerman trial.

McDonald mammoth burger? Hardee's.
McD's is too "organic/healthy-eating/make-Michelle-happy" focused to advertize a Mammoth Burger these days.

It's inevitable.
Whether we "should" or not is irrelevant in that context.

Why not? I am a capitalist—if it will make money and make people happy—why not? But, first lets bring back the pasenger Pidgeon. Then the Dodo bird. We need not make many of these trowbacks —Imagine Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Baily Circus with a trained Mastadon act? It would be gold on four legs.
To: Renfield
I’d actually like to see the Wooly Mammoth brought back from extinction, presuming they could breed and repopulate, but we’d have to get Canada or Finland on board as the habitat for these creatures. If they don’t agree, it’s just not going to work.

Here's the
1966 Network TV ScheduleThere was more variety then with only three channels than there is now with 1000.
I miss those days, before they got rid of all the rural shows and started ramming their agenda down the pipe.

The quest is to clone a mammoth. The question is: should we do it? Absolutely. And set it loose in the Capitol building. I'd love to see a gored Harry Reid being flung across the rotunda.

This would certainly be a mammoth undertaking.

Clone the mammoth then release it in Tokyo as bait for Godzilla and a new movie.

Mammoth told me there’d be days like this.

Hopefully “they” would distract and confuse the raptor into drooling...like me.
