Cat Food
January 1st 2008 03:25
Three young men went to the zoo one day. They thought it might be fun to tease and torment a really big kitty. The zoo didn't have water in the moat or a high enough wall. Surprise, the kitty didn't like being picked on and fought back. Results... One dead, two injured. Big surprise!
Look, I feel sorry for the family of the kid who died. They probably didn't tell him to go to the zoo and pick on a really big cat. They probably didn't know what could happen. Now they do.
Anyone who is stupid enough to torment a caged animal (three times his own size, with fangs and claws!) shouldn't be too surprised when said animal takes umbrage and attacks.
When my kids were very young, I explained to them that if they ever teased an animal and got bitten, I'd take the side of the animal. Had to prove it once or twice, too. Animals don't engage in a rational, human thought process, folks. They react to whatever treatment they receive. You tease them, they attack. It isn't rocket science, folks.
Zoos should maintain their facilities in the safest possible manner. Moats, fences, etc. are a good start. But anyone who makes a point of tormenting a caged beast is just begging for more trouble than he can handle. Lets hope somebody learns a lesson from this tragedy!
