You know, it kinda does:

So barbaric that this should still be allowed… No conservation laws in effect wherever this is? https://t.co/hgavm9IBaM

@JoyceCarolOates @YesThatsTheJoke Hi Joyce – photo was taken in Jurassic Park which doesn't actually exist. Sorry for the confusion.
— Chris Tilly (@TillyTweets) June 9, 2015

. @JoyceCarolOates What conservation law would have prevented Spielberg from killing that fake dinosaur?
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) June 9, 2015

@JoyceCarolOates Costa Rica. And that's easy to say when you're not the one whose national parks are being ravaged by dinosaurs.
— fd2190 (@fd2190) June 9, 2015

That's right. Jurassic Park doesn't have conservation laws. https://t.co/62hacBtJJQ
— Jay Caruso (@JayCaruso) June 9, 2015

Perhaps @JoyceCarolOates could lead the charge in persuading UNESCO to make Jurassic Park a World Heritage Site.

In situations like this, we have to ask ourselves: Is she kidding?

Taking bets on "she's kidding" a d "she's not kidding." Any takers? https://t.co/cvxY1mDvig
— T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) June 9, 2015

It’s so hard to tell. Because as she demonstrated so many times before, she’s thick enough to actually be serious about this.

Serious or joking? https://t.co/8ANHIdW92c
