Cell growth has been successful, and the cloning will begin as soon as we have enough funds to do so, this isn’t just about putting horses back on the island, it is about saving a BREED of horse from extinction, which is the primary goal, if a safe place for the horses cannot be obtained on the island, they will not be returned there, but their unique genetics will at least be preserved, please follow the progress on our Facebook page at Wild Horses of Abaco or at our website http://www.arkwild.org

Science? Ever wondered what would happen if the Frankenstein Dr. were real and the monster was created some things are better left alone let nature take its course and really need to stop playing God for everything what is next actually cloning the dinosaurs back into existence.

It would be nice to have to a descendant of these wild horses, but to save their breed, just to have them slaughtered again….why?? It would be better just to help the horses that we have now. Think about the horses on their way to Mexico or Canada, and the once waiting in kill pens hoping that someone can safe them.

What use is there in bringing them back when the people were too stupid to care for them.

Just import more spanish barbs from other Caribbean islands or Panama. There are plenty around. These island horses were only special because they were on Great Abaco. They were inbred and probably needed new genetic richness to survive.

Only tissue from one mare…. I would say that’s asking a lot from Science…. If they had more of a genetic diversity I’d think it possible, but just one mare….
