No conservation laws in effect wherever this is?


Meanwhile, in another part of the primeval forest

Steven Spielberg has been trolled by numerous Facebook users after a photo was shared of the director with a mechanical Triceratops on the set of 1993 film Jurassic Park.

The image was posted on the Facebook page of Jay Branscomb as a joke, alongside the caption:

“Disgraceful photo of recreational hunter happily posing next to a Triceratops he just slaughtered. Please share so the world can name and shame this despicable man.”

Incredibly, a fair few members of the public didn’t grasp that the picture was taken from the Jurassic Park set, believing that Spielberg had actually poached a dinosaur…

Well and besides, it’s obviously not dead – it’s resting.

People are roaring with laughter at Joyce Carol Oates because she apparently fell for it too…or perhaps she was being ironic like the wag who posted it. After her performance over Charlie Hebdo, though, I doubt the irony explanation.

So barbaric that this should still be allowed… No conservation laws in effect wherever this is?

Oh, yes, there are conservation laws there, but Triceratops are overbreeding like mad and they have to be culled. If they’re not the Fukuisaurus doesn’t stand a chance.

    Obviously fake.
    Real trophy hunters always pose with their guns.

    Back to the real world, I noticed a report that scientists have detected blood cells in a Cretaceous dinosaur bone, interesting.

    Obviously, he wrestled the beast down with his bare hands when he ran into it while taking a stroll in the woods. No need for guns.

    Do you know how heavy and awkward a Holland & Holland calibre .500/465 Nitro Express ‘Royal Delux’ Double Rifle is? After one shoots the game, one gives the rifle to the bearer, the wallah whose job it is the carry the weapon.
