And KP, you REALLY think we are going to use WMDs on DINOS?! We'd end up blowing OURSELVES up along with the dinos...
And seriously, there is no way they would get out and populate the world. This isn't jurassic park people, this is REAL LIFE. If this is true, then the dinosaur will probably be kept under government watch constantly. They aren't going to mass produce them, and they aren't going to allow it to escape...
TT: first of all, i was making an example. i KNOW we won't use WMDs on animals, regardless of lethality. it's like using a shotgun on a fly! i was making an example on the fact that we have weaponry. lethal stuff. things that could wipe whole continents off the map. so even if by some off chance this sort of thing did happen [we already know it won't, so don't go ranting about it].
secondly, my point in my previous opinion is that animals that fed off others of it's kind at a time WAAAAAAAAAAY before us may have required certain things within the food. certain kinds of vitamins, certain hormones, certain proteins...etc that simply aren't in living creatures of our scale and our time. likely hood? fairly small, but not impossible. i say there's a strong chance that no matter how much we feed it, and what we feed it, it will still die because of something in the food that isn't appropriate for it, or isn't in adequate supply. the ATMOSPHERE was different back then. and that's on a large scale. imagine how different it must have been in smaller scale!
and RL, despite faith giving one beliefs, there's also science, which, if you haven't noticed, is a PART of the information within the faith, but not given to us through the religion itself, instead being discovered by us. this science is the way the world works. sure, only a fraction of the information is with us, but the science we know is all true. there were time periods, animals lived at varying time periods. Dinosaurs came BEFORE man, and the animals that we see today are around for us to make use of [however, that does not make animal abuse legal, so nobody even try and start an argument on that]. evolution exists, but so does creation. proof: life would never have evolved if it hadn't been CREATED in the first place, right? now, enough on this topic, and back to the Dinosaur.
chances are, as TT said, the Rex will be locked up in safe containment, but also it'll be put in a somewhat natural environment [they'll have a hard time pulling that off without the creatures that are SUPPOSED to be around it. it'll probably require huge amounts of food and will want to actively hunt, and, the way i see it, a goat or cow would be like a wolf hunting a hamster. a bit of food but it still needs more, not to mention the protein requirements and other vitamins. the things they'll need to feed this Rex will make KFC Chicken look natural!]. chances of escape are small, but they'll need powerful sedatives to put it out. too powerful and it's killed or nearly starved and dehydrated. too weak and it won't work. they WILL NOT, if in any way possible, use lethal force, since this thing will probably cost several millions of dollars to produce, and so, my opinion is put forth...
