Oh... one more thought on the current stupidity of the world

1. "Let us greatly reduce the cattle population to reduce greenhouse emissions and save the world"

2. "Let us bring back to life mammoths, since their existence will help to improve the world!" (Actual quote from article: "Colossal calls the woolly mammoth’s vast migration patterns an active part of preserving the health of the Arctic, and so bringing the animal back to life can have a beneficial impact on the health of the world’s ecosystem.")

I Duck ducked and found this super slick website -- it's like out of a movie on doing this. Serious Jurasic Park-y
It'll probably be the next big thing to throw at us - God only knows how they'll use it (more than likely not good).

If you look up Marco Polo sheep, you will see the pictures... that is basically what he was striving for with crossing them in...
The idea of a woolly mammoth is nuts... because they will throw things into such a tailspin.... and yeah... they will do so much for the eco system....

Out of curiosity I researched this critter but thought better of it. AI for starters with an uncertain transfer of characteristics. Semen was expensive and hard to get. And you could poke you eye out.

How about this …

Montana Man Pleads Guilty to Creating Massive Franken-Sheep With Cloned Animal Parts

An 80-year-old man in Montana pleaded guilty Tuesday to two felony wildlife crimes involving his plan to let paying customers hunt sheep on private ranches. But these weren’t just any old sheep. They were “massive hybrid sheep” created by illegally importing animal parts from central Asia...

DAMMITT!!!! I am raising the WRONG sheep! How did I miss out on this? Hmmmm……. Probably by not having $15,000 to spend on one sheep. I’m betting any of the ranchers that got these genetics are hiding their sheep. I think it’s a great idea, too bad he got caught. LOL I wonder what breeds of ewes he used for AI from the one male specimen he successfully cloned. Article says they were illegal too. Gee, poor guy was so close, then BOOM! Down comes the Law. Wonder what they did with his sheep?

A BB gun would be cheaper if your objective was to poke your eye out.
