Bringing back the dodo

A Texas company is working on bringing back the dodo bird from extinction. It also intends to bring back the wooly mammoth and the Tasmanian tiger.
Good. We caused the problem, let’s now fix it. If only we could fix human overpopulation, all would be well.

The dodo and thylacine still have viable ecological niches, and could be functional players.
Wooly mammoths, on the other hand, are more iffy.

I would worry more about the genetic diversity needed to generate a stable population. Could we make just one? Probably, but what good would just one or even just two do? The inbreeding would be severe.

I'll get excited when they bring back t Rex and the raptors.

Or should I be terrified?
Did we learn nothing from Jurassic Park?! LOL

Seriously though, I vote 'nay' on adding yet another species that would eye me as an appetizer. Herbivores, ok. Something that I have zero chance of defending myself against, that's a big NO.

Anyways , what happened to bring back the woolly mammoth?

But can they bring back sane Republicans? :D
Maybe they can find some viable DNA but unlikely. At best, scientists may locate some strand fragments but they'd have to patch the missing areas with some Libertarian and a dash of Atheist to hardwire resistance to what led to their original demise. :D
