I think it is an excellent idea. Once the insane greeniacs and climatistas get their way, all farms will be gone and all cattle herds will be gone. Once we get tired of bug protein, Wooly Mammoth protein will look pretty good. We'll have to re-learn some long-lost skills, of course, but that shouldn't take too long.

Well, I think it is more productive than modifying viri found in bat guano
But they evolved in a world with more co2, which also meant more oxygen.
They would struggle to breath with the atmosphere today.

The reason is the same answer as anything else: money.
The first city in the world that has a Wooly Mammoth is its zoo will make a fortune.

Those will make for some very lonely Mammoths.
Everywhere they look, they won’t see any other animals who really look like them as adults. Elephants will run in the opposite direction, certainly around Mating Season!

Some in NZ say they’re still here.

Bringing woolly mammoths back to life is just silly, a waste of money. However, I am in favor of bringing ankylosaurs back to life. The ankylosaur was rugged, armored, and had a club at the end of its tail.
They’d be great for clearing a street riot.

Some in Siberia claim to have seen woolly mammoths there. If so, cloning them would be a waste.

Scientists really need to bring back honesty. It was buried under mounds of government funding long ago.

[[Ask why, exactly, we need to bring woolly mammoths back to life after 4,000 years]]
Why? Why? WHY NOT I Say! Woolly Mammoth steaks are delicious!

Why?
For the meat, of course!
I remember reading in Alexandr Solzhenitsyn’s Gulag Archipelago where the prisoners in a Siberian gulag unearthed perfectly preserved prehistoric fish and salamanders embedded in ice at the Kolyma River — and, in their hunger, roasted and ate them. No questions asked.

That would be cool. Every once in a while something that was extinct, wasn’t really.

Why not? I think it would be cool. And if we can bring them back, then we can do so with other extinct animals, thus stop all the BS about killing them off. Stop worrying and lets drill for oil, etc.

When I read I Claudius he mentioned (and I don’t know if it’s historically accurate or not) that Caligula had a feast given him and it had a strange animal they found embedded in the ice on the mountaintop, a mammoth. It was roasted and served at the feast.
SunkenCiv, do you know if that was real?

That does not sound in the least bit far fetched!
