The thing is where are they going to be kept? In zoos all their life? I can't imagine reintroducing a 10000 yr dead species into the ecosystem is not going to have hiccups
I'd imagine some kind of animal sanctuary. If you plan to do anything with them other than show them off as a curiosity, you'd need to give them enough space to act out on some of their instincts, since nobody knows for sure what their natural behavior is or what role they play. Reintroducing wouldn't even be on the table yet, unless whoever is funding them is fantastically retarded.
I would hope so as just proof of concept, but this and the mammoth are both "recently" extinct so they might think "oh we are just undoing man's damage!" and do something retarded like reintroduce them.
Like I see the net positive this could be. It has immense value on returning necessary parts of the ecosystem today like the rhino and other endangered things.
But instead its gonna just be used to create predators that are locked in cages forever for no reason just because we can, and that's the best case scenario.

Maybe like an animal theme park?

scientists are pretty retarded with regards to common sense so it's worrying
Yeah exactly.

Probably cause it doesn't bring as much funding
They'll probably just keep them in zoos, like when the auroch was briefly brought back in the 30s.
Don't worry. I'm sure their population will be kept in check by environmental factors like simping Jon Snow and shitty screenwriting.
