Thylacine collection goes on display

Tasmanian Tigers brought to life? Where now?

i demand cloned dinosaurs NOW

The titles of this thread and the article are deceiving.

I have a hard time understanding why people want to clone this animal out of extinction. We should learn from our mistakes, not erase them.

I have a hard time understanding why people want to clone this animal out of extinction. We should learn from our mistakes, not erase them. Cloning Tasmanian Tigers out of extinction would not erase anything. They would still be basically extinct except for in captivity, and to have a good breeding population we'd have to take great pangs to set up reserves and all of that. We can learn from our mistakes without being defeatist about it and wanting to keep the consequences permanent.

Awwww.... I thought this would be a thread about the thylocenes being cloned and grown into real animals. :-( I think the title is a little misleading. :-( Same, I am disapoint.

This has to be at least the third time i've seen a title about bringing thylacines back and they never deliver!. as for the debate over whether we should bring extinct creatures beck to life i say do it! No creature should be made to exist purely for that purpose. Cloned or not. you make it sound like they would be kept in poor conditions, anyone with the funding and the means to clone an extinct animal back into existence is not going to go through the effort just to see it rot in a cage. would you still argue the same point if the animals were kept in a three acre bio dome perfectly simulati...

What does it mean for the planet? Species have come and gone for millennia, and it's usually been that the planet is what screwed them over! When humans take far more than they need, they make corpulent corpses that are best put in the ground so that the planet can reclaim what had been taken. "The planet" wants for nothing. At a much different rate, from other causes. Just think about it... An species fading from existence as a result of natural selection vs. a species being avidly hunted be humans. Which one will go faster?
