Now Being Served at the Snack Bar: You! Australian Billionaire Wants to Clone Dinosaur for Real-Life Jurassic Park!
Local Aussie billionaire Clive Palmer is in "deep discussion" with the scientists who cloned Dolly the Sheep about producing a real, live dinosaur that he could house at an ambitious resort he's developing in Coolum, in the state of Queensland.
You're watcin' to many movies. Surely there'd be especially very strict security measures. Do large aquatic and/or large zoo animals breach security and create disasters most of the time? The answer's no.
If a common zoo can easily house some of the most largest and vicious of predators then dinosours at a customized facility will not be a problem. There're always high powered guns, as well.
It can be done.

Can it? The cloning I mean. (and not in a philosophical sense where "we can do anything")
We'd need very specific dinosaur DNA and a way to make sure the cell cluster and fetus are able to grow. Even at that cloning has a significant failure rate.

A juvenal prank.
Jurassic Park didn't have strict security. That was "the big joke" within the movie. Hammond kept going on and on about how he "spared no expense" whilst building the park, but the reality was that the security wad shoddy as hell- the tour vans they were riding in didn't even have locks on the doors.
Mankind's hubris being its own worst enemy was one of the principal themes of the movies. If the cages had been made up of six inch thick steel bars, the disasters within the park wouldn't have happened, but Hammond and his team were so busy patting themselves on the back for creating high-tech electric fences and sophisticated DNA populayipn contrpl measures, they had no idea hpw vulnerable they were making the parking.

Raping a velociraptor just doesn't appeal to you, huh?

Wait a second, are you saying that no one has ever attempted this yet? I mean could he have been the only one to think of this in a world filled with brilliant scientists? Something to think about huh?
A lot of scientific research isn't conducted due to the lack of funding. Unless someone presents a specific research model with reasonable costs then it won't happen.
But cloning isn't that well-developed from what I understand, we're not able to create artificial wombs for one. But who knows, maybe even if we don't get dinosaurs we might find out ways to improve cloning.
