Does anybody find somebody finding the last animal, killing it and then cloning it hilarious or is it just me?

Hello. I am new to the Reelviews commentary here (although I have e-mailed James on a number of occasions regarding film in the past). I have read the review here, and according to Wikipedia, it appears that there has been ongoing research in Austra to sequence the DNA of the thylacine (i.e. Tasmanian tiger) using existing tissues and specimens collected over the years.

In at the movie, another reasoning is made:

[Reveal] Spoiler:
Apparently, the animal posses some kind of deadly neurotoxin that the biotech company wants to synthesize. They just don't want to clone the animal...they want to clone the animal's abilities.

Yes. Sounds like a great black comedy.
