We spent a great deal of time and effort turning a savage beast into a walking burger, and it's frankly a little insulting to try to undo that. It's like ruining a perfectly good steak dinner that someone took the time to prepare for you, except this is doing that to all steak dinners.
So I, for one, am putting my foot down. We worked damn hard to become the dominant species on this planet and kick the ass of anything that looked at us funny, and I will not have our efforts be outdone by scientists! No aurochs!
Ok, let's think about that. Right now we have cattle that are entirely docile and that we can easily slaughter to create steaks. But no, that's too easy. Let's instead have monstrous, ferocious beasts that we need to fight to get our steaks from, like our ancestors did. Because that makes sense.
And who's going to line up to milk an auroch? Hrm, let's see, none of you? That's what I thought. So now they're going to take away our ice cream too. That's right guys. No ice cream. Not only are they going to take away our steaks and burgers, they're going to take away our milkshakes and our sundaes.
I oppose the use of genetically-modified organisms to - in an ironic twist - bring us backward in civilization and progress.
As a food source, chicken is better for the environment than beef is. I want to discourage the farming of beef and encourage the regrowth of wild spaces where beef used to be grown. Chicken burgers and Aurochs for all!

On the plus side, Aurochs wouldn't need antibiotics and steroids to produce more meat!
I for one, am in favor of resurrecting a species just to eat it. Science!
Would they not need antibiotics to stay healthy? If we are farm raising them en mass that is.
Overuse of antibiotics in agriculture is a major public health threat these days. The Aurochs would be too big to use the same tactics (hopefully), and wouldn't need a constant feed of antibiotics.

I am aware of over usage issues but they still use antibiotics on cattle don't they?

... But I was also mostly joking. I have no idea how it would end up working.
