I think most people agree that the animal’s life should be valued above that of the animal. What I feel is that it was a preventable situation. That animal should be alive today.

People bring their children to that zoo every day. What “accident” happened that day that hasn’t happened many other days. The world is full of precocious four year olds. I know, I had two of them.

If you know your kid is a handful, you hold their hands. You don’t let them run lose near wild animals.

“Precocious”?

Just the opposite.

Been to that zoo took 3 kids and first wife, didn’t lose a one. Did have thoughts of throwing ex into the polar bear enclosure. It was a very hot day.

And if you're not a 100% perfect parent all the time thank God there are some people who will shoot animals to protect people.
