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. 😭
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.

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

put 'em in emu eggs to begin, then they make their own factories.
Anything that accelerates the downfall of humankind is good in my book.
