Wanna get into a more fun topic. Would you support the resurrection lf an extinct species like Dinosaurs? (suspect, million)

The gleeful way you view this prospect is leaking through your keyboard.
In all honesty, I see the cool factor of living dinosaurs. I just don't think it's advisable to make the fantasy a reality.
Well. We can have Puerto Rico as the island. Puerto Rico is an American territory. It's been decimated by hurricanes. The people there are citizens, bring them over. The dinosaurs need a tropical climate. Puerto Rico has that.
We have an amusement park.
We hire former combat vets to serve as security. Flood the island with belt feds and 50 cals. Few apache choppers and A10s, just in case SHTF. That was where they really screwed up in jurassic park... they didn't have attack choppers to provide air support.
THEN on the other side of the island we have the "game preserve"
Where you take an APC or humvee out and go on a prehistoric safari.
We can put a meat processing station in there as well. Waiver that you are entering at your own risk and do not hold us accountable for anything.
You kill it. We grill it. And you get to take Dino meat home. Endless possibilities for recipies. That place would be a GOLD mine. Tourists around the world would be booking the place. I'd add a casino too. Prehistoric themed too. Kinda like the flintstones...

a mini triceratops would be neat. It can charge home invaders and stab them in the ankle. Keep cats in check too. It sees the demonic possessed whiskers go to rip the drapes and chase it away. Mini Saber toothed tiger.
Can name it Joe-Bob cat, because of the hillbilly teef.
Need a tropical climate though... otherwise you'd need a really big fish tank and a humidifier and heat lamps...
That's probably exactly what they'd say to justify the process. That wouldn't be their agenda though.
It's a total Pandora's Box. "Let's open it just to see what happens."
Nothing good can come of it, either humans or extinct species.
Im sure they have some kind of agenda for attempting this. I remember right after the first Jurassic park movie came out, there were all sorts of scientific articles asking whether it could really be done, or how long before something similar could be achieved, interestingly, many of those articles claimed it would be possible within the next 20 yrs, so the timing is about right.
I read something not long ago about how it may be easier to just make something that looks like a dinosaur by manipulating DNA thru genetics, using bird species, eventually they could create something that is basically a dinosaur.
I think if they ever managed to re-create a living dinosaur, it would probably go alot worse than the movie did, they wouldnt be able to contain it as well.
They would do it to demonstrate their mastery of the science and technology involved, to gain knowledge about the development of life on Earth, and simply because it would be interesting to see what extinct species are like.

They would never be able to control or contain such a thing to one island or region, in fact, it would likely end up a lot worse than the movies!
