Scientists from several teams on several continents are working toward the resurrection of the woolly mammoth.

Well-preserved mammoth specimens are popping up all the time, preserved in the permafrost of the Russian tundra. Mammoths, most closely related to Asian elephants, went extinct about 4,000 years ago, which makes the probability of obtaining workable DNA much more likely. In fact, the sequencing of the mammoth genome has already been completed, at least to the best of our ability.

They would basically be living in zoos, which would suck. Especially since they were probably about as smart as elephants.

Bring them back so we can hunt them. But no guns, you have to hunt them with spears.

I'm not even sure what sort of purpose they could serve nowadays. It seems like it would cause more harm than good for the world.

Grass, shrubs, bushes, leaves. Basically whatever plant matter it could get its hands on.

It would be akin to reintroducing an animal to a habitat from which it had been displaced. More educated people have thought through this.

People wanting to eat them are being shitty.

It'd be good for science, but in the long run poachers will make them extinct again.

Reintroducing them to the wild would just be begging for poachers to strike and sell fur, tusks etc on the market.

Why would we do that? We already have tons of carefully selected, genetically bred livestock animals and the amount of food it would take to raise one would probably heavily outweigh the food it produced.

The idea is that they could help save the world from global warming by helping the tundra or some shit like that

I'm no scientist, but that sounds insane.
