I don't think you read my comment. They wouldn't bring back dire wolves that don't have a niche in the current ecosystem. They'd bring back things that have gone extinct in the last century or so, or maybe artificially modify existing creatures to fit niches that are no longer filled. This project isn't doing what would happen in an ideal world. It's only making garbage to sell to investors to make a bunch of money and bail.
I understand that, but the wolves are living things that require expert care. This isn't some cat they can take home or some mouse they can quietly put down... They're stuck with them
If they kill them, they'd get death threats (people are already attached). If the wolves escape, they'd get protesters. People will likely come to try to see the wolves, the wolves will try to escape and become extra aggressive if they're understimulated
Good PR stunts don't require you to run a zoo for the next 14 years - and whether they allow guests or not, they'll need a team of people, including round the clock security, to take care of them
So unless they can sell them to someone, every success they have pushes them further into becoming Jurassic Park, but with less cool animals
