How to kill tamed Rexs quickly and affordably?
I have just finished a 3 week breeding project to get as close to super dinos as I can with Rexs. I have about 30 Rexs that I used for breeding that are no longer useful to me. I have tried killing them with a sword, which takes about 2 minutes to do and roughly takes down 1/2 of the durability of a sword. Killing them this way would be tedious. Killing them with bullets would be expensive. I've tried unclaiming them and getting other rexs to attack them, but it doesn't work. There is no slaughter function in the radial menu like with sheep. Do you guys know of any quick and affordable method to kill a tamed dinosaur? I've taken them to dangerous areas with other dinosaurs, but they aren't attacking them. I guess they're too intimidating. Any help would be appreciated.

Use the rex's you are keeping to lvl them up by killing the rex's you do not want. Unclaim to get xps.

Wyvern, taking them out to sea, leaving them on aggressive in a dangerous spot, finding a giga and "accidentally" whistle attack this target.

aggree you can use them very good for high lvl troodon tame.
you can use them in the arena for tests. to check how it works. if you havent done it till now. you can bring them in the wild. set on walking and aggressive. makes it interesting for other player xD
i kept my rex till now and will use them in the arena. my baryonix i use for tusohunts. if i fail it i dont care for the dinos i waste. if you want to kill them you can put them one after each other in your taming pen. have some ultimative rexes or gigas inside you want to level up. put the on aggressive and unclaim the rex you want to kill.
i got a huge of amount of birds. regarding the nerf i had to kill them all and do the tame/breed again. if you want to kill birds. just shoot them in their heads with a crossbow. youll make crit dmg + add dmg vs flyer.
last idea. have fun with them. go on a argi put all on follow and wistle attack the target on gigas, alphas, other player. what every you like. do it untill they all die.

Dudeus, what you suggested I already said in my original post doesn't work. JDaremo Fireheart, taming troodons requires a HUGE amount of tranq darts or arrows for rexs and takes a LONG time also. I've done it before to tame a troodon. Not a good way to get rid of 30 rexs. Valerio91, I am located in the center of the map, so the ocean idea is a good one, but would be a nightmare getting them there and them getting stuck on the environment. The giga idea is worth a shot, I'm pretty close to one actually.

set them on passive and unclaim, then kill them with one of your dinos.

you can even bring them somewhere. dont unclaim, dont use them, do nothing. they will starve. maybe just in 3~6 month but they will do it.

Put them on passive in a pen, pick up a Therizino and drop it in with them or just kite a wild Rex or Allosaurus in with them and leave it to it.

you could also just do a boss fight solo with them. that would take care of up to 20 of them

I like the lava idea. I'm very close to the volcano, so that'll work quickly.
