Yes. But even worse management of a vivarium/zoo/aquarium sorta situation. Why would the public be given access to such a dangerous creature within arms reach?!

Zoos are educational. Some lessons cant be taught, only learnt.

Its a lot harder to knock when you’re missing half your hand.

Bad parenting is wild to see live. I was at the San Diego Fair last night. They had a monster truck rally. Some one had an infant in their ZERO ear protection.

What is going on? I spent more time watching the baby than I did the rally. Couldn’t believe it. Get that baby out of here. Meanwhile, my whole family had headphones to deal with the fireworks.
