I would think you do.  I am with the "no animal can stand up against human
killing technology" response.

When somebody asks me what the most dangerous animal on Earth is I say:
you/we are.  If we can drive blue whales to the verge of extinction, then
no dinosaur that ever lived could hope to survive our technology.  (A heavy
machine and a couple of grenade throwers will blow away just about any
unprotected flesh).
