If you and your wife went to a petting zoo and while your wife posed for a picture with the cheetahs and the cheetahs turn on your wife, biting and scratching her, you have a choice between jumping in and saving her life or taking photos that will bring you wealth and fame. So what shutter speed would you use?

You can always find another wife but great pictures only come once!

reminds me of those filmmakers who watched a baby penguin die in a pot-hole sized hole instead of helping it get out.

Ever since I saw this story a couple of years ago I've wondered when . . . .

Exactly. What a stroke of genius - cheetahs in a petting zoo! What a wonderful idea, to invite young children to stroke the fur of large carnivores. I'm sure nothing could possibly go wrong, especially since cheetahs' normal prey is about the same size as a young child. /sarc off

During his SNL days, Dan Ackroyd played a character named Irwin Mainway, who ran a company that sold extremely dangerous toys to children. This place sounds like a business enterprise he would have promoted.

CONSUMER REPORTER (Jane Curtain): "Mr. Mainway, do you really think it's a good idea to have a petting zoo stocked with large, man-eating carnivores? A young child could be torn to shreds by one of these cheetahs."

IRWIN MAINWAY (Dan Ackroyd): No, no there's no problem here, it's perfectly safe. Let's face it, kids love animals, and what is a cheetah anyway, except a large pussycat? It's a great place to bring the kids. The kids love it!"

When my kitty licks her lips, she’s smelled something she wants to eat. I’m wondering if the lady had something on her hair or some perfume that set the cat off.

The woman is more of a guy than her husband. The husband is a wuss.

The local news anchorman this morning seemed disgusted that the guy didn’t jump in there and get the children and let his wife get mauled.

She sailed away on a happy summer day on the back of a crocodile,
“You see,” said she, “he’s as tame as tame can be;
I’ll ride him down the Nile,”
The croc winked his eye as she bade them all goodbye, wearing a happy smile,
At the end of the ride the lady was inside, and the smile was on the crocodile!

Hey, you can always get a new wife.

But, how often does the chance of getting a prize winning shot like that come along?

Even luckier, it wasn't this kind of cheetah.

There’s no way those cats were gonna eat that lady because cheetahs never prosper.

The lady looks like a stupid environmental wacko liberal. She got what she deserved.
