I was first imagining being in the same era and happening upon one as one would a deer in the words.
You first imagined cruelty and elitism. Why it's that?
Never mind; username explains.
Is there any difference? Would killing and carving up the body parts of a dinosaur for your sensory pleasure be any less cruel if it happened in the dinosaur's own time?
I'll rephrase.
My first thought was a survival scenario.
Your first thought was selfish evil.
Why was that, I wondered?
My point is that your world view was to interpret it as a negative first. Not a comical musing. Angsty.
