B) It's been established that JP raptors are about 6 feet tall. They're not gonna change it, and it's canon that they can't put feathers on raptors. Yeah, 3ft sounds better. I was trying to picture it in my head, and I am not good with that. But if they're showing kids and other people inaccurate dinosaurs, and then they go on to spread that false information, it's not good. They should be taught the right things- I know the dinosaurs were made with frog DNA, but that shouldn't make a Velociraptor twice its size. Well, that would just be inconsistent with the other three movies. You have to understand, there's an established canon, and therefore a reason for not changing it.

Anyway, the movies are fiction. While some people take them at face value and assume "that's how raptors really must have been", it's not the responsibility of escapism to educate people.
