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?

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.
