The animals would probably end up dying off, transplanting animals is not some easy task. Evolution made them perfect for living where they live, and eating what they eat. Bring them here, and most likely you will just watch them die! Either that, or they will thrive and terrorize people. Some people and their silly ideas.[confused]
The US is to populated to have dangerous wild animals from Africa running around. We can't even control our Bears could you imagine having to control Lions and Elephants?? What the hell is wrong with people??[mad]
I think there are more Oryx in New Mexico than Africa. More Scimitar Oryx in Texas. More Black-buck and Axis than India and Pak.
The nuts in the story want to transplant elephants to the plains states (where the snow falls horizontal in winter!) as well as other 'big game'..... oh yeah, no hunting of course.
The 'intelligensia' always gets it wrong: man is part of the balance.
