My wife and middle daughter went to a wildlife wolf rescue place in the Rockies outside Denver. They were petting the wolves. Yikes! I wasn’t there.
Same middle daughter got peed on by the monkeys at Gibraltar.
Oldest daughter got spit on by a llama at a zoo.
I’ve had mama deer stomping their front feet at me when I was 20 yards from their fawns. I stomped my foot right back at her and she took off with the kids.
My wife came across a mountain lion on a trail in the SF Bay Area. She backed away and the cat went the other way.
I’ve had moose go by pretty darn close to me. They are the orneriest and most unpredictable beasts.
We’ve all lived to see another day, thank God.
Got charged by a mama moose, didn’t see her and the little one in the willows until it was too late. Ground was bouncing under my feet. She covered about 50 feet while I covered 5, peeled off and went back to newborn. I got across the river and away.
With a track record like that your family should never leave the house.
DIL took the grandson to a so called petting zoo.
He was 3 at the time took a picture of him petting and hugging a small whitetail buck in velvet.
I told he in no uncertain terms that that was not a smart thing to do.
But nothing happen. I told her that they got away with that time.
She has killed an fair number of deer and one bear.
some times women are just to emotional.
