Poaching Protected Wildlife

What is the moral of this story? Has it one? 
To inform that science is fully capable of 
restoring that which human folly has destroyed? 
And while the plan at some future date using 
newly formulated experimentation to successfully 
match eggs and sperm frozen post extraction 
from beasts now accorded the extinction label
resulting from hubris and disconcerting casual
unconcern of an entitled culture ravaging all 
manner of animal species both rare and common
to satisfy the collective whim of people entranced 
with their ability to transform skin and bones 
into dainty dishes to grace the table of a gourmet 
population or use in medication or potions much 
less the raw material prized for matchless qualities
in producing art objects of great acclaim research 
only hopes to replicate nature's matchless genius 
while rapacious superiority and the conceit of 
humans will guarantee that the extinct once 
resurrected will yet again be regarded as nature's
gift to humankind in its ravening appetite to 
destroy and reap the rewards using the platform 
nature provides to ravish vulnerable creatures 
all presumably at the disposal of humankind.
