Keith, I used to eat at a restaurant in eastern Ecuador that we volunteers dubbed the endangered species restaurant. You would have loved it. Capybara, tapir, caiman, agouti, giant amazonian catfish...etc.

My favorite hands down was agouti.

Their "Center"suggests that 30% of the planet’s genetic diversity will be lost by 2050."

Total BS

Yeah, that's a bunch of mammoth crap.

Remember Dolly, the sheep they cloned back in the 90's I believe.

Extinct things should be left as such.

Head on over to DC lots of Dodo's there. No smiley face here cause I'm serious

I was thinking New York City a lot of rats there to eat.

In the end, I don’t think any good will come of this.

Mother Nature did what she thought was right for the dire wolf long ago. I’ve never known Mother Nature to be wrong.

I think dire wolves will be a non issue for us. It's interesting technology, which is likely going to be used mostly to make superior meat animals, show animals and pets.

The organic crowd frowns upon gene editing but I actually think it's pretty cool. I would pay good money to see a wooly mammoth. How much could they charge for wooly mammoth rides at the game park?

That would be a fun restaurant to go to.

Agouti look like they would be very good to eat. They sell a lot of agouti at the Mt. Hope Exotic Sale. Most are sold for Santeria. I know a guy who bought 37 agouti to resell in Florida for Santeria.

How long before one of the "Free the Mink" nut cases cuts the fence so they can run free?

I heard that oregon signed up first.

Oh let's not even go there again.

The dire wolves were bottle fed by people and around dozens of people daily. I don't think catching them would take much of a trapper. They are probably less trap shy then an opossum drunk on fermented fruit.

Hey H20. Good to see you on here. Thought a nutria pulled you into the slough.

I agree with Warrior 100% that all research needs to be stopped and destroyed. Put an end to it.
The DOD is probably funding this nonsense, just like they funded the chimera nonsense and probably the Covid BS.

The "rewilding" scientists are some lunatic dangerous people. Nothing good will come of this.

Newhouse #5 in a dirt hole set?

This is better than the article
