Do you have thoughts on bringing extinct species back?

[Chazmatazz269]

Apparently there is at least one company endeavoring to do some “Jurassic Park” kinda crap! Ell oh ell!

There are multiple sources reporting on this, so either it’s a next-level hoax, or it’s legit. I had to triple check because the website really looks like something out of a movie.
What if it’s really real? Do you think we should be bringing extinct species back to share the planet we seem quite set on destroying ourselves? Ell oh ell!

We shouldn't fool around with Mother Nature. Bad things usually result when we do that. Just look at what happens when a species is brought into an area to help eradicate a bad species... and it turns into an invasive species worse than the one it was intended to eradicate.

[Chazmatazz269]

What about the species that have been eradicated by mankind’s impact on the planet? We’re already “fooling around with Mother Nature”. Should there be attempts to fix our mistakes?

I am not sure I like the whole idea of mankind messing with nature. Things come and go as per Darwin's Theory of Evolution and Natural Selection. Species have gone extinct over millions of years on the planet, if we start screwing around with nature, I think it could come back and bite us.

[Chazmatazz269]

What about species that we know were destroyed by mankind’s hubris?

[OfMiceandMen]

Still natural selection, if the species was strong it would have survived, we are still part of Darwin's evolution theory. We are animals like everything else. Not saying we won't pay for it someday.

I dont want it to actually happen but as a kid i used to want dinosaurs to be real so bad. Not all the dinos like raptors and shit. But like TREx because they seem easier to run from and escape. Shit looked fun af

Only in fiction we ran faster but in jurasic park the big legs were faster than humans. Or in film meet robinson , he leaned on a wall so t rex can't reach down lol. But could kick then step back n bend.

[Boredaf99]

Brining back dinosaurs is a bad idea 😂

[strateguy632]

The one they described "mammoths thundering" across interstate roads crushing us in our cars!

They use vague words "colossal problem" to hide just how " few out millions " are extinct

1 of 4, Are you fooled by the "extinct sensation" of a few in a million species?

Maybe if we do this people will be a bit more respectful of other creatures.

[Chazmatazz269]

I kinda see the flip of that. If it works, why should we care at all? We can just bring back whatever we destroy anyway.

[exitseven]

nah, people will just raise them for food or maybe sell them as exotic pets to make a bundle of cash.

[Chazmatazz269]

Do you really believe there is “respect” therein? I submit “puppy mills” and industrial farming practices as evidence of how we treat animals who would be pets or food, especially where “bundles of cash” are involved. Ell oh ell!

[Pterodon]

There’s been talk of cloning the passenger pigeon. I don’t want them brought back just to see them go extinct again. I think they’re a grim reminder of how selfish, and how mankind will slaughter to extinction anything it can profit from

[exitseven]

As long as they bring back something that we can eat.

I can think of MORE IMPORTANT research that NEEDS doing than this scheisse!
