Wouldn't the differing atmosphere mean that even if we did resurrect some massive dinosaur, it'd quickly die?
Maybe if we focus our efforts on more recently extinct species, with far more likely intact DNA, and work our way back from there.
There's a lot of reasons why dinosaurs would not thrive in this current day and age. Our atmosphere is completely different than it was pre-Ice Age, temperature wise we are cooler too. Large dinosaurs would require a massive amount of fauna to sustain them, which would wreak havoc on local ecosystems. Carnivorous ones would be inherently quite dangerous, and as Jurassic Park pointed out to us over the course of several crappy sequels it is impossible to contain breeding carnivores within artificial boundaries...
Basically a terrible idea even if we limited bringing only the small omnivorous ones back due to ecosystem issues. Maybe if they were kept somewhere contained, like a park.

Yes.
There is not much uninhabited land left that Dinosaurs could live on.
On MMO-C we learn that Anti-Fascism is locking arms with corporations, the State Department and agreeing with the CIA, But opposing the CIA and corporate America, and thinking Jews have a right to buy land and can expect tenants to pay rent THAT is ultra-Fash Nazism. Bellingcat is an MI6/CIA cut out. Clyburn Truther.
If trump gets elected, he'll do that for sure, and have them patrol the border.
Would it be possible to create an ''artificial'' island in like South America where we could drop them off? And in order to stop them from escaping there could be a dome around the island.

Really curious as to where this uninhabited land they are going to roam is located? I think we should send them to fight ISIS. Send a hundred thousand T-rexes over there....
I think, if we did resurrect them- they would die off quickly to disease or the environment. The last living dinosaur was over 65 million years ago, a lot has changed since then...

Sign me up. great pic!
No, what's the point? Resurrect and introduce a large animal species with no natural predators? That could devastate an ecosystem.

How do you know it was an asteroid? ... are you sure it wasn't?
besides it was a miss-quote from JP it should have been "Dinosaurs had their shot, and NATURE selected them for extinction."
Also thinking about it, an asteroid.. it kills EVERY dino on the planet an yet everything. everything else manages to survive, were they all hiding in the ocean till it was all over... i call shenanigans!
this made me almost shit my pants.. lol

Shrug. Do you think lizard/alligator meat is tasty?
Typically carnivores are not very tasty but alligator meat is ok.

OP is obsessed with animals and is young so I'm sure he didn't seriously think about this topic beyond "but it would be cooool"!!1!
