I get that it's an invasive species, but I don't know, maybe donate it to a zoo or something?
Agreed see if you can make it even bigger.
Get it nice and beefy and it could become the lead singer of a hardcore band called like "Forward" or something.

Plus install AI software so that it can write convincing newspaper stories. “Gorilla Dodo: Write a piece on Opening Day in the style of George Will!” I demand my dystopic future to be weird, not depressing!

Hello,

Someone will follow this up with a chain of fried dodo shacks - imagine the drumsticks!

Re: the ethics, the distinction between mammal and egg-laying bird makes some sense to me, and I simply am not really versed enough in the science (or my imagination) to get a sense of what the benefits of this knowledge would be (which is decidedly not to say there isn't any benefit, I am truly far too ignorant about what those would be). I think if the suffering for the animals is minimal (a claim made in the article but, again, I don't really know what actually entails here), I guess I'd rather people dump big money into something like this than into a myriad of other idiocies that people like to fund.

Conservatives will be torn between the wokeism that will destroy a good expression like "dead as a dodo" on one side and a desire to shoot one for themselves on the other.
