Cloning a pet...shame on you Tom Brady

So I saw a news story about people paying upwards of $50k to clone a pet (mainly dogs) that have passed away. As an animal owner/lover and having lost several dogs, cats and horses over the years I know too well the grief people suffer when they lose a pet, but this story makes me sick!
Instead of trying to bring back a pet that is no longer with us, why not use that $50k to help animals that are looking for their forever home. At the very least that $50k would made a big difference to all the animals in shelters. We have adopted at least 10 animals in the last 30 years and we don't regret a single one, they all became an integral part of our lives.
Thinking you can get the exact same pet back by cloning is insane. I guess next people will be cloning a family member that died and expect a 100% replica of that person?

I will have to admit that there is one dog we had that, if I had the cash, I would consider this.
It is on the creepy side but, why not if one could? -
Yea, I'm sure Brady does some donations for the good. But, you cannot expect to have the exact replica down to personality of anything. If I had a look alike of any animal we had and it did something not true to their "former" personality I would be creeped out.

Remember the movie "Pet Cemetery"?
Not the same process as cloning, but I'm thinking the personality of a pet can't be replicated.
So the theory of an evil-mannered dog clone could result.Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

I had a girlfriend that suggested I clone my dog.

Well . . . . just part of me.
Wouldn't a plaster cast of it be cheaper than cloning?
