When will human beings realize that Wild Animal's in their own domain aren't pet's or something to be at their biconical to accommodate their demands...I just shake my head hearing story's like this...I'm also willing to bet this couple had been pre-warned ..BUT for some silly entitled reasoning this women forgot there's something beyond herself that RULES!! It's Sad indeed..BUT IMO not a surprise...
People really must do due diligent research on this stuff..before venturing into the WILD..:facepalm:
I totally agree.
As sad as it is for the woman, this appears to be her own fault OR whoever rolled down that window.
Whether it be carelessness, arrogance, ignorance, stupidity, or just plain thinking they are "special".
I know this story was about a real safari tour but as I have gotten older I am at the point where I even dislike zoos, circuses, and places like Seaworld. To me, it is just not right. I do understand that sometimes reserves and sanctuaries are needed to ensure a certain population of a species is always retained but for the most part, I feel most of the places are mainly "for profit".
The last time I went to a zoo many years ago, I was saddened to see a large gorilla confined to a rather small enclosure. All I could think of was how sad it was. And the gorilla even looked sad. I was utterly disgusted by it all.
Dont get me wrong, I was one of the lucky kids growing up where my parents took me to the circus and I am sure I screamed with joy at all the animals. But as I have gotten older and learned about them, I have changed my attitude to where I dont think it is right unless for the sole purpose of helping a species survives.
I know things may never change and I do understand that bringing young children to a zoo or circus helps to educate the children and it gives them enjoyment and a chance to see things they may never see in the wild. I understand all that.
But with that said, I tend to be the person that roots for the animal if some idiot adult was horsing around and teasing animals as he falls into the Polar Bear exhibit.
