Why wouldn't you they are interesting giant versions of some reptiles. They raomed the earth billions of years ago and were in charge for the time being. They were tall as buildings heavy as whales. Some lived on land others in the ocean while some ruled the skies. There was preditors and the prey. They were solely instinctual animals and living a life of the survival of the fitest wa a an everyday experience.

So why is it that we are so fasinated with an animal that lived billions of years ago? Well it's because we are intrigued with the idea of being able to experience some thing thrill seeking. Being able to own a dinosaur would offer that opportunity especially if it plans to eat you eventually. Unless you are lucky and your chased by a T-Rex just hide in a corner of room. it won't reach you because it has a big head and little arms. It the small ones to watch out for.

However there would be a good side if you own an herbivore dinosaur you could ride on it's back without needing a drivers license. A fun experience riding amoung dinosaur herds without having to worry about being eaten. To have a dinosaurs around nowadays in a giant park would give an oppurtunity to many children to experience their favorite dinosaur up close.
