Kids and wild animals...
- Thread starter singledad
- Start date
Even a domestic cat can be dangerous. I still remember how my own sweet kitty attacked my best friend - we spend quite some time trying to stop blood and she still has a scar... He was so loveable and was purring on her lap and she just wanted to take hair from her face...
:speechroflmao: :
I just wonder : do we like men because they remind us of cat, or we like cats because they remind us of men :err:cybele said:
We went to a Safari Park where you drive up close to the animals. Man i Dan't think I have had to ask our youngest two not to touch so many times. We went in a group with some friends and had three cars which all got attacked by Monkeys. Callum the poor thing was half scared to death i think cause he actually asked me if monkeys could bite... my answer: - if you annoy them maybe. The window went up so fast 
I have attched a photo of the day with Callum admiring a beast and a half (shortly before the monkey fiasco) I also noticed my car (a Volvo XC90) had plenty of damage the bull like thing in the pic for example put a dent in my rear lefthand side passenger door. I guess even a SUV as big and as strong as mine isn't invincible when it comes to wild animals

WTF? That looks like a NguniShaun Austin said:
ie. Domesticated African bovine...Have to say though, "domesticated" does not mean that I would walk up to a strange bull and try to pat its head...

We were told it was safe then as I put my foot down to move on, it knocks its head into the door of the car... yeah real safe I think that is what scared Callum that day because he is usually loves being around animals and wildlife... and has a certain respect for them, I think it comes from Charlotte being a vet.singledad said:
Another sad story yesterday in Pittsburg, PA. Mom sat her two year old on the top of the enclosure so he could see the wild African painted dogs. He fell 11 feet into the pit and was mauled by a pack them in front of his parents. He was pronounced dead shortly after. I can not see why someone would put their child on the top of the barrier, but my heart breaks for them as I could never imagine what they went through. Sickens me.
I just read this story in the news.Mom2all said:
They ended up shooting one of the dogs.
This is a highly endangered species, which is only just starting to recover its numbers. Every single dog represents a very valuable genetic variation in a species where genetic diversity is dangerously low.
And between then, this idiotic mother and the zoo staff caused the death of one of them. This is exactly what I was talking about - humans act irresponsibly and then the animal pays with his life.
Seriously - Painted Dogs will maul anything that moves. It's what they do. If it moves, its food, and a pack of them will leave very little behind. So what was this dog's crime, exactly? Being a wild animal? Is it the dog's fault that the child fell into IT'S enclosure?
/singledad stalks off to fume in privacy
Cybele.. I don't know if he did. I pray not. I really hope he died on impact. But 11 feet is not far enough to normally kill you right away. I just don't know.
