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

I have to give Mrs. D'Mello credit for helping the child. Even so, she and the other "adults" in this fiasco need their heads examined, especially the parents who let their kids in that cage. And Mr. D'Mello...pathetic.

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!"
