Of interest?

[Opinionated Blowhard]

The family of three was given access to feel and brush the rhinos

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.

[Perseverando]

Florida man at fault?

[Catmom]

So Mitt was in Florida?

[Responsibility2nd]

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.

[jalisco555]

In what universe was this considered a good idea?

[csvset]

Dad sounds like an idiot.

[Fresh Wind]

They should have shot the rhino, just like they did with Harambe. /s

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

[BenLurkin]

Saved by the intercession.....of Saint Harambe.

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

[Doogle]

....and why wasn’t the two yr old in the arms of a parent?

[Huskrrrr]

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?

[WashingtonFire]

Surely Florida is not such a sissy state that there was no one armed nearby who had the balls to jump in and help th kid?

A bullet between two he beasts eyes would have saved this kid from what may have been death

[Doogle]

....other accounts of this story is more horrifying than CNNs....seem the tot fell 10 into the pit when she slide through the bars....CNN puff this story for some reason

Black rhinos make the Big Five list of most dangerous African game animals - mainly because they are nervous and charge when surprised. Their vision is so bad, they are nearly blind. The Black Rhinos eat bushes, so you risk coming upon them unexpectedly at close range among bushes, and startle them.

The wide mouth (the Dutch “wijd” for wide, was Anglicized as “white) grazes grass out in the open. They are not really mean - just huge and skittish.

[BeauBo]

They have been getting petted for ten years - not aggressive.

[DesertRhino]

I side with the rhino. This is my kind of rhino.
