Pros And Cons Of Bringing Back Extinct Animals

Improved Essays
Scientists believe that it is a good idea to bring back extinct animals like dinosaurs. This would not be a good idea because of many reasons. One reason that it would be a bad idea to bring back extinct animals is the fact that they would not be able to adapt to human life as it is now. They would be way to tall, and they would end up eating the human resources like crops and destroy trees and the wildlife. Another reason why scientists should not try to bring back extinct animals is because there is absolutely no reason to have them. There are currently dogs, cats, fish, etc. that exist in the world now, and that has been enough companionship that a human has wanted. For example, dinosaurs became extinct over 65 million years ago. There would

    In addition to the fear of cognitively functioning animals lies the fear of breaking the natural order of nature, where the evolution of the world’s species would be dictated by humans, not the ecosystem’s natural order. (Yu). The natural order is formed by the boundaries of specification of different biological species such as homo-sapiens and other creatures. By creating a completely scientific species, it destroys the barrier that we’ve logically set to distinguish humans apart from animals. David Haussler, a cofounder of the project to bring back extinct animals, stated, “There’s always this fear that somehow, if we do it, we’re going to accidentally make something horrible, because only nature can really do it right.…

    When families go to SeaWorld they are surrounded by sea creatures; some of the main attractions include dolphin shows and sensational performances of the Killer Whales. Audiences view the shows and enjoy tricks that trainers and animals perform. However, they can be dangerous but can still have a playful personality with a lot of intelligence (Kirby, 3). Unfortunately, these large animals are in tanks that keep them restricted from returning to the ocean, thus placing themselves and their trainers in danger. Orcas have been known for attacking their trainers, like Dawn Brancheau in 2010.…

They’ve been nearly hunted to extinction with only 50 wolves left in the wild when Yellowstone National Park was young.

    I strongly concur that the main reason why the dinosaurs became extinct was because some kind of disaster occurred. I agree with the disaster theory because, if you really think about it, a disaster is the only logical theory that makes sense as to why the dinosaurs vanished from earth. In addition, there have been several studies to prove that disasters are what caused the dinosaurs to become…

    Essay On De-Extinction

    • 900 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Over the past few decades, many animals have become extinct either due to natural causes or humans. Recently scientists and researchers believe that animals can be brought back to existence through a process called de-extinction. Some believe that bringing them back to life will make up for the wrong of extinction as stated in Text 1 : 3Q The Ethics of Species ‘De -Extinction’ by Angela Herring. However others claim that because of de-extinction, extinct species are being brought back but millions of other species in the ecosystem are at risk of extinction, stated in Text 3 : Case against Species Revival. Extinct species should not be brought back into existence because it will put many species at risk and will create controversy in…

    An essential ingredient to improving animal welfare and human health is to farm slower and smaller. The World Animal Protection and the Farm Animal Initiative have developed a project called the Model Farm Project in effort to promote humane farming internationally. The WAP link, “Farm Animal Welfare,” argues that humane farming is both profitable and sustainable. The WAP asserts that keeping farms moderately sized creates jobs, reduces pollution and environmental damage (and expensive clean up efforts), and raises profits because healthy animals are less costly to maintain. In terms of animal welfare, the key is allowing animals to behave and eat as normally as possible.…

    In the article Bringing Them Back to Life by Carl Zimmer, scientists are debating on whether they should bring back extinct animals or not. Some say that it would be cool to actually “de-extinct” an animal, but is it really worth the time and money to do so? Cloning can involve several different processes such as injecting nuclei into other animal cells, restructuring genomes and reprogramming cells. Bringing back or cloning animals from the past would be great scientific achievement but then again the past is the past and should maybe left that way. There is great debate of de-extinction; the pros of scientific advancement and preservation or the cons of playing God and wasting money.…

    Are there days when you come home feeling lonely and tired from a long stressful day at work or school and have absolutely nothing to look forward to? Some may say that having a dog, whether it is big, small, cuddly, furry, or active, can provides the unconditional love and companionship that you need every day. According to 2012 U.S Pet Ownership & Demographics Sourcebook, dogs have the highest percent of households owning compared to other pets by 36.5%. (AVMA, 2012). Due to the statistics that dogs are the most popular choice among other pets such as cats, birds, and horse, it can be concluded that having dogs as a pet provides many unexpected benefits such as improving our mental health, physical being, and teaches us responsibilities.…

    You will never be bored or lonely if you have a companion animal at home. Pets are a great form of emotional support and help with increasing the chemical levels in the brain which produce happiness. When having a rough day people often confide in their pet rather than an actual person (although they cannot speak back.) Maybe that's why they are so special. For many years, pets have become a support system in a person’s daily life.…
