Joyce Carol Oates and that picture of Steven Spielberg with a 'dead' dinosaur. [The Guardian] [Books]

(@JoyceCarolOates) June 9, 2015 So barbaric that this should still be allowed... No conservation laws in effect wherever this is? https://t.co/hgavm9IBaM

“There are only three possibilities. I will list them here, as well as their likelihood:
1. Oates was making a joke (5 per cent chance)
2. Oates didn’t click on the photo and thought it was a picture of a slaughtered elephant (80 per cent chance)
3. Oates thinks a triceratops was murdered (15 per cent chance).” [Joanna Rothkopf, Salon.com]
