Macroevolution has nothing to do with this thread (though microevolution does). Because no new species has evolved since any of the de-extinction candidates were wiped out.

The difference between using farming equipment as weapons and using rubber bullets for non-lethal methods of dealing with predators is that the latter has been used for that purpose specifically, and repeatedly.

If a bear is already charging you, rubber bullets are just as effective as trying to piss on the bear.

You are being attacked by an alligator! What do you do?

I wonder if by bringing back say, the Barbary Lion, maybe we could find a way to bring it back immune or more resilient to certain diseases or disorders.
Then hopefully we could incorporate that trait or develop a vaccine to help our existing African lions.
