We warned you about it over a year ago. It was announced yesterday that scientists have mapped the DNA of the woolly mammoth, better known as That Hairy Elephant We Killed Off a While Back.
This “groundbreaking” achievement was done under the guise of helping science learn what makes some species die off and some survive. Hey scientists, news flash, WE cause the extinction of animals, and we only save the ones that are cute and/or can’t be turned into clothing.
This blog knows better than to believe science–about anything. The real reason they wanted to map the DNA of the woolly mammoth is so that they can bring it back and set a herd of them up on an island in a theme park. (Say, someone should write a book about this.)
We don’t need any more animals to fight, especially ones we already defeated. Did the Romans clone Hannibal so they could sack Carthage again? NO!
you’re not seeing this right. who *wouldn’t* own a woolly mammoth as a pet?
we could have mammoth fights in the park.
we could get them to pull us up that dangerous ski slope known as The Widowmaker.
during the morning traffic jam, we’d tromp right down the middle of the 21st century superhighways, using massive mammoth tusks to blithely toss aside the puny metal boxes like so much kindling.
and that’s only the beginning…
