If I were a dodo being de-extincted at the current point in this timeline, I'd be like, "...you brought me back for this?"

Somewhat skeptical after the whole direwolf debacle, but it makes a lot more sense to de-extinct stuff that's been gone for 500 years than it is for stuff that's been gone for 50,000

The Ugly Chickens by Howard Waldrop

A riveting science fiction story about the search for the last dodoes.

It was also financed by the CIA as well via In-Q-Tel. Leaves a bitter taste to be sure, but what they're doing is interesting.

What's the point?

Let's stop focusing on bringing back dead species, and instead focus on like, not destroying everything on earth?

"Hello dodos, we brought you back so that you can be hunted again by psycho poachers, all while the weather cooks you alive before a tornado throws you into a forest fire. You're welcome!"
