Also... I don't think that Zara's death was any worse or better than a lot of the deaths in JW - it was fairly drawn out but then I suppose that was meant to create suspense - will she survive or won't she. Looking at the pterodactyl attacks we see the chopper door gunner carried away, the chopper co-pilot impaled and killed - now HIM I really felt bad for since his character was an Afghanistan campaign veteran and here he was stuck with his boss who, in his hubris imagines that he can pilot a chopper flawlessly, and he gets killed during a pretty ill-conceived mission (they could have gotten the real pilot, Mazrani's instructor but Mazrani insists on doing it himself) - the park goers that are attacked, where some get lifted off the ground a bit but are apparently too heavyset to lift and others get attacked viciously by biting, so you don't know whether Zara will fall and get injured or killed or another pterodactyl will capture her and when she gets dropped in the Mosasaur tank will she get out alive... I suspect it's mainly for the suspense rather than everything being 'punishment' for some crime.
