How to Kill a Dinosaur

I don't think the pregnancy has any real effect on my already whacked out dreams, but every once in a while one does have to wonder if the excess of hormones impacts it at all.  Like always, there are many facets to this dream that I cannot hope to include because they are so many and so random.  But essentially, when it starts I am not me, but someone else.  There is also a Raptor dinosaur running loose in what appears to be an in-home beauty salon. The Raptor is also eating people like "my" boyfriend and sister.  Apparently the Raptor has eaten poison and bullets and that hasn't slowed him down either.  So after finding out that he ate my sister, I decide that it's time to figure out a way to stop him.  The other weird thing is Joe Montegna (aka David Rossi from Criminal Minds) is also there to help out.  We decide that nothing will stop this thing except to starve it to death.  I don't know much about the real Raptor, but in my dream it was only a little taller than me and I was stronger than it was.  I seriously doubt that to be the case, but in my dream, I managed to catch it and clamp it's mouth shut with my bare hands.  Then it's mouth and arms were duct tape shut.
The next scene is Dad and I (really me not whoever-I-am-in-the-dream-me) are going through some sort of large warehouse/storage unit.  Did I mention this is where we're keeping the Raptor until it dies?  On the way back out, I discover that it has loosened the tape from around it's mouth.  Once again, I clamp it's mouth shut with my bare hands and try to get Dad to get Shirley (my dog) out of the room so it doesn't try to eat her as well.  I remember distinctly looking in this creature's eye and thinking starving is an inefficient way to kill it, but didn't know what else to do since bullets and poison didn't seem to work. 
And then I was so uncomfortable (both mentally from this weirdness and physically from my hips) that I woke up enough to realize how weird this was.
So...any guesses?
