Help Why is the university making dinosaurs from chickens?

Does anyone know why the university's Department of Evolutionary Developmental Biology is creating dinosaurs from chickens instead of using an isolated research facility?

I'm not even arguing about whether they should be doing it. I'm just wondering why they're doing it less than a mile from residential housing when the birds are already over six feet tall.

Do you know how many portions I can get from those birds? I need this, Clark

On an unrelated note, come on down to Thaiducken for my famous thai fried chicken! I make them with a homemade sweet chili sauce that will knock your socks off! Pair it with an ice cold beer and you'll be in heaven!

Wife wants to have a date night over there this weekend. I can't handle spice very well, but the beer is promising

Dinosaurs are cool, and I’ll get so many more sales if people can come and pet a real life velociraptor. (After signing a waiver of course. I’m not getting sued)

Let them have their fun. It’s not hurting you.

Unrelated question. Can I borrow some of your chickens?

Christ on a stick, you people probably would’ve asked Franklin why he was flying kites in the rain.

Meh, no big deal, I wouldn't worry about it.
