Why breed them? Are they supposed to introduce them to the wild? Or just keep the growing pack contained in a limited reserve? The latter seems cruel, and the former somewhat irresponsible.

But if they can recreate an extinct species, they should be able to breed more of endangered species, which can hopefully be added to existing populations

So yeah, it's a PR stunt, but that's how you get funding for more useful things.
