The new raptors

disagree.

D-REXMANIACFAN3354 - From what I've gathered from various interviews and pieces of information presented to the public, the velociraptors we see in the trailer are in no way, shape or form Owens' "friends". They'd eat him in the blink of an eye if they perceive any form of weakness (momentary or otherwise) in him. That's a good bloody incentive for that bloke to keep up the "tough man" persona! :)

That made me feel a little better but nothing I have ever seen/read/heard has lead me to believe that this type of relationship is plausable but it's a movie after all. I mean in the first JP movie they alluded to how new born raptors think they first thing they see is their parents so maybe Owen has been with them since birth.
