The American plains are too different from the African plains. Creatures like cheetahs and lions would not fare well against the average North American winter.

Morons, really incredible morons. This is an idea only the mind of a child, a celebrity, or a naive academic could think would work.

Moving species around is a very bad idea.

Talk to someone from Georgia about Kudzu.

I always thought various islands thru-out the world would work nicely for this. For instance Dominica has mountain rainforests perfect for mountain gorillas.

12 Monkeys for real.

Any way to speed up the extinction of Ted Turner and all others in his category?

Is this from the Onion? Come on!

I guarandamtee you that the average lifespan of a lion let loose in Texas will be less than a week, assuming he can find some thick brush to hide in.

I don't care what laws are passed, people will protect their own.

The idea of "rewilding" the Great Plains grew from a retreat at Ladder Ranch near Truth or Consequences, N.M. The 155,550-acre property is owned by media mogul and conservationist Ted Turner
NUFF SAID.

The unspoken part of this is that the Plains states would have to be cleared of people.

Don't we already do this?

We call them "zoos", "wild animal parks", "the circus", "Michael Jackson's house"....

The introduction of lions and such to replace their extinct North American counterparts was actually a minor plot point in S.M. Stirling's sci-fi / alternate history novel Conquistador.

We'll just have to adapt.

What was once shoot, shovel and shutup will become shoot, skin and mount.

Can't wait to have Leo up there with all the Bambies.

"There has to be a pretty serious attitude shift on how you view predators."

Eating a PETA sandwich? Yes, now THAT would be a "veggie-burger".

Mounted?

Through a 4X scope?

As rugs?

As a source for Coats for Kids?

As an excuse to convince the wife I need a .50 BMG handgun?
