Jurassic World review (warning: spoilers)

One last titbit my friend gave me to ponder: He asked me "Where did they get the dinosaur DNA from?"
"From mosquitos trapped in amber" I said, "there are oversized replicas on display at the park".

"So then where did they get the DNA for a mososaur - an aquatic beast that mosquitos couldn't possibly feed on?"

a lamprey trapped in amber?
 
For those of you thinking of visiting, enjoy your death-trap! Have none of you read "God Creates Dinosaurs" by Dr Ian Malcolm or heard of Chaos Theory?!?!?

Oh, please. Dinosaurs are just other animals, not mindless, uncontrollable monsters. Keeping them around isn't much different from keeping any other large animal in captivity. Jurassic World has a fantastic track record with safety. It's not like the people running the park are deliberately doing something to the dinos to make them scarier or more aggressive.

Really? There seems to be continual vacancies on the Velociraptor section!;)

Maybe people just quit a lot? Even if that's not the case, I meant with guest safety. They do acknowledge the dangers of the velociraptors, which is why they don't have them on an exhibit. Still, I do wonder what's going on with the raptors. Surely a strong exhibit and strict protected contact is enough to keep people safe, yes?

I don't know the outcome of this event (my mate was a little distracted at this point) but he mentioned something about the crappy quality (and IQ) of some security guards who had been employed to monitor this particular animal in the enclosure.


My mate tells me that the aviary, although large, is very overcrowded, but management won't listen.

Speaking of management, although the park is high tech and very slick behind the scenes, it is primarily a theme park and making the paying public happy is their second main priority (the first priority is taking their money). However, one of the partner companys has a completely different agenda and is exerting pressure on park management to refocus some of their attention into less ethical pursuits - another reason my mate resigned. He didn't like the direction the parent company was taking, or the corporate bickering and shenanigans.


You heard that rumour, too? My mate tells me it actually happened, some senior level executive deliberately opened the doors and allowed something out. After attacking another animal it returned to it's enclosure of it's on accord and without further incident.

One wonders if the Jurassic World animals would be less restless and grouchy if they had mates, like you do.

Luckily the zoo was not the member of AZA. I heard animal right groups are trying to file a lawsuit for animal abuse basing on the video evidence. Currently they are trying to find the postal address of Hammond Labs.

AZA could comment on how poorly managed was the zoo. Although they spent millions on technology, they didn't even have functional CCTV in exhibits. Basic safety conduct with big animals lacking. No emergency plan, no clear replacement person if one of staff is not available, terrible cyber-security. Strange that their links with the army didn't improve organization. :D
