Miniature pets

Other day I was thinking about bonzai plants.  If it is feasible to grow a big tree on a small scale, will it be able to do the same with animals?Imagine playing with an elephant, which is on your table top.  
Or a Kangaroo that is tall upto your knee.


With genetically engineering progressing, these things should come to reality in near future.

The question is: do we want it?  If we think about the negative aspect, when it is possible to minimize, it will be possible to enlarge too.  A group aiming to create roits in a city, can unleash megasize elephants into the  city.
