This really is silly, even though it is slightly fascinating to me. With the way Africa is going, the big game will be table scraps for the starving in Zimbabwe, so this might be a way of preserving some species. I did hear of a millionaire in Texas who has a rhino ranch. Turns out Texas has a similar climate that the rhino's liv in Africa.

The only problem that i have is that the Pleiscocene animals went extinct for a reason. Climate had a lot to do with that. Also, how would they compete with native animals? In Florida, there are now several non-native parrot-type species that have become well established. Also, would they be carriers of exotic disease that may pass to native plants or animals that lack resistance? Introducing non-native species into local ecosystems, IMHO, is a big mistake.

There was a thread last year on an incident in Africa where two natives were getting their freak on, so to speak, on the outskirts of their village. A lion came out of nowhere and grabbed one of them.

The one on top.

We don't need that here.
