Well, today I say to you: These people are wrong.
Raptor hands are right.
They killed for the pleasure of killing.
They were swift: strong runners and astonishing jumpers.
Lions, tigers, bears: Are they dangerous?
Are they roaming the wilderness actively seeking out human beings to tear apart?
Not unless something is terribly wrong with them.
Only nine fatal wolf attacks were considered acts of predation (as opposed to a provoked attack).
(The one time hedoesdo that to some atrociraptors inDominion it doesnt work.)
To some anti-handsers, the very idea that a human could have a relationship with a velociraptor is risible.
In some ways this just speaks to the difference between how Steven Spielberg and Colin Trevorrow interpret this work.
(Spielberg lightened up on this a bit inThe Lost World, which at least justifies theT.
rexs aggression with a note about them being territorial and protective of their young.)
Ever seen a little show calledTiger King?
Which isnt to say that raptor hands symbolic function invalidates their genuine applications within dinosaur husbandry.
Karen is a resident ofUseless Farm, and shehatesher farmer, Amanda.
She tries to attack Amanda every chance she gets.
The reality is we dont actually know nor do we have any way of knowing how raptors would act.
But we can safely assume the velociraptor is not just evil incarnate.
Doesnt it seem plausible that their behavior would mirror predators we already know?
real loud, and hold your ground.
