Personally I think this is a great idea!
You wouldn't have to spend all that money to go on safari to Africa to hunt the big stuff! Now if they would just talk of bringing in some Cape Buffalo I'd be all set!
And if they think that stone age man with his "sophisticated stone tools" caused a problem, think what we could do with modern firearms and archery equipment! Hmmm what draw weight would you want for sticking a mastodon?

"This hunting probably helped to drive many animals to extinction, including North American mammoths and mastodons, lions, cheetahs, camelops (a relative of the modern camel), horses and asses." This is not possible because we are taught that Native Americans were in perfect harmony with the environment.

Yeah, and let's reintroduce cavemen back into the southwest: Oh, I sorry, we've already let that happen.

I don't see how introducing non-native species to this hemisphere would serve to any benefit. Elephants? Camels? On the western plains???
I didn't think camels or elephants like cold winters.

These people are smokin dope. This is one of the craziest ideas I have ever heard.
I think we should take them all (these nuts) and make them live with the Kodiaks in Alaska and see how it takes them to get eaten alive.
Remember--- the only good bear (or maountain lion) is a dead bear.

"Those animals died for a reason. The climate no longer supported them. North America saw a huge climate change as the ice sheets retreated."
Yeah, but the humanoids caused this global warming, with their campfires, didn't they?

Since most of the land is private they would need to expand the Eminent Domain practices.
This is a really stupid idea.

The release of large carnivores sounds like something for the leadership of PETA to handle personally:
