Reintroduce Megafauna to North America?
sneakers563 writes "A team of scientists is proposing reintroducing large mammals such as elephants, lions, cheetahs and wild horses to North America to replace populations lost 13,000 years ago. The scientists say that parks could be set up as breeding sanctuaries for species of large wild animals under threat in Africa and Asia, and that such ecological history parks could be major tourist attractions. 'Africa and parts of Asia are now the only places where megafauna are relatively intact, and the loss of many of these species within this century seems likely,' the team said."

For me, it's not her that's getting on my nerves, it's all the people that are using her for their own agendas (ie, Moveon, Micheal Moore). They don't care about this woman, her dead son, or her protest, they care about the media that has been generated and they want the spotlight.
