This Visit By The Media Looks Monstrously Unsafe

A baby Woolly Mammoth found in a remote area of Russia has gone on display at an exhibition in Tokyo, Japan.

The 39,000-year-old female Mammoth named Yuka, was discovered in May of this year by scientists in a Siberian ice tomb.

The frozen woolly mammoth will be exhibited from July 13 until September 16 at an exhibition hall in Yokohama, south of Tokyo and visitors will be able to view the extinct creature during it’s three month stay.

Experts who discovered the creature were able to extract a blood sample, which in the future could lead to the possible cloning of the beast.

But an archaeologist has warned that ethical issues surrounding bringing extinct animals back to life must be considered because scientists are “on the brink” of doing so.
Yuka’s story is featured in the BBC/Discovery Co-Production programme Woolly Mammoth: Secrets from the Ice.

First of all, if you are displaying a 39,000 year old mammoth carcass then maybe you could provide some safety masks for your guests. Who knows what's been incubating inside that biological material for all these thousands of years.

Wear the same masks YOURSELVES. Are you or are you not men of SCIENCE? Then ACT like it.

Did you notice in the back that some young skeptic IS wearing his mask. Who wants to bet he is the only one that survived this encounter with the baby pox mammoth?

Next, you do not want to be cloning these things. They would be genetically designed to only get as big as a plasma TV. If you think the dog park is already full of shit, imagine everyone and his kid owning one of these mini-mammoths. You would need a shovel and bucket to police after your pet.

Then some smart monkey will think that these thing might taste good between two bun slices and you got the whole KFM - Kentucky Fried Mammoth. They say it's a leaner meat cut but you tend to eat more of it.

I saw a movie about this exact topic awhile back staring Val Kilmer. It was pretty damn gruesome and make on a shoestring budget but I still am freaked out by that film.
