758: Raptor Fences
Title text: If at least one person has a nightmare about being swarmed by hundreds of mouse-sized dromaeosaurids, my work will have been done.
In the film Jurassic Park, the protagonists are hunted by carnivorous dinosaurs like velociraptors. Primordial Dwarfism is an extreme form of dwarfism that can manifest in all stages of life, including fetal. The disease is caused by a genetic mutation inherited from both parents.
The caption suggests that the fear of being hunted by dinosaurs can be reduced by genetically engineering them to be many, many times smaller than they should be.

- Cueball: The raptor fences are down. They're loose.
- Friend: I'll get a broom and dustpan.
- Jurassic Park got a lot less scary when the researchers discovered they could activate the gene for extreme dwarfism.
