I think we should put the park on the border with Mexico ...

Call to restock North America’s large mammals (Lions, Tigers,Bears Alert)

Oh my!

[rahbert]

There are already plenty of asses in the western states.

[LRS]

They are insane...

[BipolarBob]

It is time to animate the Saber-toothed Tiger DNA.

Aren't there already elephants in Oklahoma where "the corn is as high as an elephant's eye?"

Re: Restocking with Large Mammals.

That's a very stupid idea. Who thinks up this crap anyway? PETA?

[henkster]

Overhunting my a$$! So why didn't the thoroughly depredating humans work they way down the order of animals, by size, and eliminate the bison, the elk, the deer...all the way down through the chipmunks to the common slug?

Those animals died for a reason. The climate no longer supported them. North America saw a huge climate change as the ice sheets retreated.

This doesn't have anything to do with man. But sure enough they blame man for it.

[socal_parrot]

the consensus is that over-hunting by humans probably had a significant role.

This can't be! I always thought that the native peoples of North America were great stewards of their domain one with nature.

Thats good f-ing idea. restock the continent with man eating animals, while our population is growing. What a bunch of f-ing nimrods. I have an idea, let's shoot and kill the growing bear, deer, mountain lion, and "critter" populations before they start eating our kids. F-ing retards.

You'd think that people who beleive so strongly in evolution wouldn't complain so much when it takes its course.

[U S Army EOD]

We have already started doing this with the raising of Micheal Moore. He is the largest mammal we have so far and already a liberal. Isn't that enough?

[scory]

Good idea. Hunters will no longer have to travel to Africa to bag that trophy lion or rhino.

[Voltage]

Time to send the environmentalists somewhere else, perhaps they could 'restock' Europe and leave us alone?

[Ole Okie]

This idea has been around for several years. One variation is to turn all of middle America from North Dakota through SW Texas into a "Buffalo Commons" with all sorts of animules introduced therein.

I just hope the inmates don't take control of the asylum. This is absolutely nuts. They want to live in the Pleistocene era? They should invest in time travel scams.

[Uncle Miltie]

"This hunting probably helped to drive many animals to extinction, including North American mammoths and mastodons, lions, cheetahs, camelops (a relative of the modern camel), horses and asses."

This is not possible because we are taught that Native Americans were in perfect harmony with the environment.

[loreldan]

Sorry folks. The Great Plains has already been reserved for the return of the buffalo. Anybody heard of Buffalo Commons?

[mict42]

Yeah, and let's reintroduce cavemen back into the southwest: Oh, I sorry, we've already let that happen.

[don-o]

1000 posts a possibility here.

LOL funny stuff.

I don't see how introducing non-native species to this hemisphere would serve to any benefit. Elephants? Camels? On the western plains???

I didn't think camels or elephants like cold winters.
