Yes, because a live dinosaur wouldn't fit the popular neo-darwinian paradigm.
There have been (even recently) reports of strange animals in the amazon and the congo that sound a lot like dinosaurs. And there are reports of giant flying reptiles in Indonesia, and so forth.
There are thousands of square miles of almost impenetrable swamps and thick jungle in the world. Natives in some of these places describe beasts that fit with what just might be dinosaurs. And what about all the sightings of lake monsters?
This is a field called cryptozoology—the search for hidden animals. There just might be a few dinosaurs left, teetering on the edge of extinction. We are constantly discovering new species of animals and plants in remote areas. A tree can’t run away and hide and yet the Wollemi pine tree avoided detection until just recently (said to have become extinct millions of years ago).

Removal of fossils is illegal. You must be a licensed collector or a scientist to take bones.
Living dinosaurs are perfectly legal, unless they are native species or endangered species. They're called birds.

Is that a serious question?? Do you think that you saw a dinosaur? If so, you need to go see a doctor.

Nope, but I'd sure hate to clean up those poop piles!
