The End of the Barnum & Bailey Circus

We should genetically modify them into wooly mammoths and set them loose in the northern hemisphere to combat global warming.

[Speaker to Animals]

We need woolly mammoths just to hunt them on the tundra with stone spears and atlatls.

People would pay good money for a paleolithic experience like that.

Can you imagine how awesome a wooly mammoth circus would be? It would revitalize the industry and create tens of thousands of jobs.

Why not a dinosaur circus with t-rex and velociraptors?

That's a good idea for a business in Africa. Offer an elephant hunting earl homo sapiens tour. Just pay a tour guide and pile into a toyota tacoma and drive alongside the elephant hurling spears and darts at it. The truck is cheating a little but some of those elephants run pretty dang fast.

They would be harder to control. Also weren't dinosaurs comparatively unintelligent to the mammals that followed them? They were basically precursors to birds I thought.

Not legit.

It has to be a herd of mammoths. You have to walk into the park with only paleolithic tools and clothing. Maybe even learn to knap and fashion spear points, fashion spears, etc. on the scene.

A woolly mammoth kill should be badge of honor indicative of great achievement at great risk.

Nobody really knows for sure. Some of them hunted in packs. We know that from the remains of tar pits. So some must have evolved social organization and planning.

Early man cheated all the time when hunting large game. They would often corral a herd of buffalo or mammoths at the edge of a cliff and drive them over the edge. They would also straight up burn down huge forests to drive the game out and slaughter them en masse in a bog. You mean to tell me thats more sportsmanlike than a pickup truck?

I'm just saying, I'm not going to the circus to see chickens. Imagine how many chickens it would take to trample a trainer to death!
