In truth he actually doesn't - he admitted this in his book The Complete
T-Rex that all large carnivores in the natural world both hunt and scavenge,
he does however quite enjoy the debate so whenever he speaks live on the
matter he plays devil's advocate and states categorically that T-rex was all
scavenger.  Sorry, don't have the page ref for this revelation,
Yours sincerely,
