I'm in favor of cloning to save a species, it's the ethical imperative. As for extinct animals, it wouldn't be unethical to the extinct animals. I seriously doubt we would mass clone large dinosaurs that could easily repopulate themself within in generation.
If the hypothetical idea of an afterlife means more to you than the objectively true reality we all share, then you deserve no respect.
