(CNN)A 2-year-old girl remains in the hospital a day after she was injured at a Florida zoo during a private rhino encounter experience, zoo officials and her family said. The toddler and her family were taking part Tuesday in a close-up experience with white rhinos at the Brevard Zoo in Melbourne, Florida, when the girl came into contact with the animals. The family of three was given access to feel and brush the rhinos while supervised by two zookeepers in an area of the zoo where they were separated from the animals only by steel posts.

Of interest?
This sounds like a bad idea to begin with, and it sounds like an incredibly bad idea to let a two-year old do it.
Florida man at fault?
So Mitt was in Florida?
Jeb Bush was in the RINO cage?
White rhinos can weigh up to 5100 pounds.
2 year olds can weigh up to 30 pounds.
Yeah, I don’t see a problem here. Go for it.
In what universe was this considered a good idea?
Dad sounds like an idiot.
They should have shot the rhino, just like they did with Harambe. /s
LOL I was going to post.....’mitt was there?’
Next stop for the family: Lawyers
Yet another idolatrous animal worship consequence. Sad, that they inflicted it on a baby.
See the account of Alexander Cockburn in the indented quotation.

Mitt Romney is attacking children now
Saved by the intercession.....of Saint Harambe.
....and why wasn’t the two yr old in the arms of a parent?
I’m really sorry for the infant. Maybe they should have offered the Rino a bottle of Coke. It works for those cute Polar Bears, doesn’t it?
My first thought on this one was...who lets their 2 year old next to a Rhino?
You’re absolutely right.
