93 rats on a 2 acre island are wiped out by cyclones and Scientific Geniuses are paid $22billion yearly to blame it on whitey's carbon footprint and killer farts.

I saw that movie , The Killer Shrews (1959)

Let them find and store some dead critters, and then clone them when the technology allows such for a reasonable cost in a couple of decades. We’ll bring back many other animals that way. It isn’t ideal, but it’ll work.

So the 2008 election didn’t result in lower sea levels after all?

“Indeed, the team spent five months obtaining the necessary permissions for captive breeding from Australias governmental agencies “
And there is their problem. The whiny little bleeding hearts cared more about the bureaucracy. They could live trapped a dozen and been breeding them before any paperwork was done.

Scientists who can’t keep track of a few tissue samples expect us to save the planet??
One day they’ll turn up, probably in the bottom of somebody’s gym locker, and they’ll clone up a mess of these rats and everyone will be happy again.

Why are these people "devastated"?
Is / was there some actual BENEFIT that the planet gained from it's existence?
It was the only thing on the island besides plants.

We must take the scholars and scientists who failed in their great gambit to save the mammal and make example of them as a sacrifice to the Rat God. Flay and Skin them as sustenance tribute for the hopeful reincarnation of the blessed rat mammals.
They were charged with a holy task and they failed. Nothing less than complete atonement via self sacrifice will suffice.

Aww, they were too late to breed more parasitic rats.
I'm sure there are some snakes or scorpions they could play with instead.
