Oh no, they're quite free to enter. Would save me some serious coin on the feed bill. As well as provide some quality entertainment for me.

The possibilities it opens up for future exploration
are really intriguing, even if they are limited to the
excellent conditions in the permafrost.

There are ways to keep kids out of the yard that wont bankrupt you in butcher bills, or buying cattle to feed the damn thing... IF the government would make it legal for land owners to put in mine field dead man zones around the perimeter of your property. I mean bouncing bettys really deter people from entering just about any area.

When I was young I had a 6 foot tyranosaur styrofoam skeleton in my room; now that I'm all grown up I want a real one in a pen just like Jurassic Park! I hope I live long enough to see something close.

You dont mow the dead man zone... make it a strip of garden planted in wild flowers, ornamental grass and signs in klingon warning bout the land mines.

You'll need the Velociraptors to get rid of the bodies of all the dead Trekkies (or -ers, as you wish) trying to steal those signs.

On a side note.. isn't that the cutest horsey?

Thats what the dire wolves will be for. I considered genetically engineered gerbils, but decided that a gerbil large enough to have 8 inch fangs would be too obvious.
