"I don't know if what they did was any more than what kindergartners do at the zoo every day," Inspector Valerie Matthews told the Chronicle. If our kindergardener daughter yelled "Kaw, kaw" at the eagle. What would we say if the eagle scratched her eyes out.
If she hissed at the rattlesnake, that rose up an bit her, how would we react?
Do you allow your child to taunt animals in the zoo? Or elsewhere? If you do then don’t be surprised at what may happen to her/him. Why not teach a child to respect animals in general? If these guys were taunting wild animals then its a whole different story. If you think its cute or alright to taunt animals don’t take your child to a zoo for their sake & the animals.
