I don't think this sort of thing is necessarily a good idea, partly because the ecosystem develops once a species has died out, and the re-introduction of a predator could be dangerous.

Bringing back the Tiger is just a start. Who knows where things could head after this? As for the ecological impact, you're right, it probably wouldn't have much of an impact; but like any level of scientific experimentation, it leads to greater consequences.
Cloning started off small, with sheep, and has already worked its way up to more intelligent animals such as cats. The possible Tiger re-introduction is not going to be an isolated incident.
