Also me. Yes. Dinosaurs are cool.

The best part about the Emu War is how the wikipedia page has all the details recorded with the exhaustingly loving excess of detail so typical of military historians. Seriously, the article reads like one of the great conflicts of WWI with how much passion is put into it.

Edit: I should say, not as old, but still. Also, we don't take care of our elephants, wtf are we going to do with a woolly mammoth.
People always loves the fluffier animal, everyone knows that

Whoa! There's a movie about the Australian Emu war?

I mean…yeah, if we had a realistic way to find preserved dinosaur DNA and bring those bad boys back? I’d say do it in a heartbeat. Stupid? Absolutely. But worth it.
Sadly finding DNA that has survived intact for dozens of millions of years is impossible.
Anything that accelerates the downfall of humankind is good in my book.

Even if we could get a perfect DNA genome of a dinosaur, how would we go about getting the biological machinery that would've converted those blueprints into a living organism?
We can modify the genes of living animals by creating viable zygotes, growing them into viable embryos, and implanting them into living wombs, because we already have a factory that is configured to process blueprints of a very similar type.
We don't have the ability to rebuild a dinosaur factory, even if we get the dinosaur blueprints again.

To be fair, those enclosures were basically designed to be broken out of.

I like the section called

Well, the emus may have won the war, but they didn't manage to get any kill.
Because the emus were playing 5D chess. Their diplomatic stonewalling is what ultimately won them the war.

Another action-comedy movie retelling of the events called The Great Emu War, written by John Cleese, Monty Franklin, Rob Schneider, Camilla Cleese, and Jim Jefferies, was aiming to begin production in 2023 or 2024.
The machine-gunners' dreams of point-blank fire into serried masses of Emus were soon dissipated. The Emu command had evidently ordered guerrilla tactics, and its unwieldy army soon split up into innumerable small units that made use of the military equipment uneconomic. A crestfallen field force therefore withdrew from the combat area after about a month.
I can just hear Jim Jefferies narrating that.

More power to them, not everyone can do a successful pacifist run

put 'em in emu eggs to begin, then they make their own factories.
