What I want more information on is where the hell were the parents when the kid fell into the pen. This is not some short scramble over a fence. To me, the parents are responsible for this act and should bear the full consequences of it, including restitution for the animal.
parents are responsible
Werid. i am not sure how old that kid is but he looks to be maybe 2? 3?
Should be attached to the hip outside of the home I am sure most mothers would agree.
Honestly what has happened to parenting?
Gone to Pot????
I suspect the reverse will happen, and the zoo will get sued, right or wrong.
In all of the reporting on this, I have not been able to find what, to me at least, seems like an obviously important part of the story - photos of the fence. Some reports say the kid went over it, while others say he went through it. But I’d love to just see a picture of it, to see how easy/hard it looks to get past it.
Frankly, I’m surprised he survived the 15 ft fall into the moat, to begin with.
You are correct. Pdrent’s responsibility. I was there recently. I leaned on that fence. You can’t lean on a 3 foot fence comfortably. I’m thinking it was taller than 3 feet. In 18 years not a single incident, but this genius child figures it out instantly under the watchful eyes of its mother. /sarc
