This Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom video implores you to save the dinosaurs. First off let’s hope no one thinks this is real since the only prehistoric creatures we have on the planet at this moment are nowhere near the size of the CGI-created creatures in the movie. Second, if it were real, then saving them would mean interfering with them, again, in order to cover up a mistake that had already been made during their creation. It might be hard for some people to figure out which way to lean on a subject like this but, speaking as if we’re in the movie, a lot of folks could rightfully agree with Dr. Ian Malcolm. “Dinosaurs had their shot.”
That might seem a little cruel, it might even seem dismissive of an entire species that wants to fight to exist just like anything else, but the fact of the matter is that humanity, in their arrogance, has done some pretty nasty things throughout history. Creating dinosaurs would be right up on that list though it would rest somewhere between miraculous and utterly stupid. While on one hand it is something to wonder about the dynamics of such creatures and how they survived and lived in those long ago days, it’s also another to want to bring them to this current era to experience what they’re really like. Even more to the point is the fact that little if any real dinosaur DNA has ever been found to be completely intact. Even in the movie they had to splice it with the DNA strains of other animals, and that eventually turned around and bit them all in the rear, sometimes literally.
To argue for the right of any species to survive is usually a no-brainer, they have the right to survive and to thrive as they see fit. But a species that existed long before mankind had those rights revoked by nature. Mankind reinstating them doesn’t seem like it would invalidate nature’s reasoning, and in fact it almost seems like it would be spitting in mother nature’s eye just a little. The greatest argument would be against bringing back part of an extinct species, since no dinosaur in the movie is completely original. Not a single creature created since Jurassic Park has been an original dinosaur down to the last cell. But arguing against their right to survive once they draw their first breath is also kind of difficult. Also, arguing that humans aren’t responsible for them any longer is also tough since humans created them, and it would seem to fall to humanity to save them as well.
The unfortunate part of this is that as it shows in nature when humans try to intervene, nature won’t always say thank you or even acknowledge that humanity has done anything entirely useful. Those dinosaurs that are carnivores would still look at a person as a walking, talking meal. So perhaps the dinosaurs are best left to their own devices, as in the movie they’ve found a way to survive before, meaning they could possibly do it again.
