Response to absolutely not!

Everyone thought I was stupid for my opinion a few years back when a teenager broke into a zoo after hours and jumped into the bears' enclosure. The bear (duh?) killed the dumb teenager and the powers that be insisted the bear be destroyed. I pointed out how stupid they all were to punish the bear for acting naturally. PLUS....God only knows how the teen may have acted toward the bear. He may have goaded him while playing Mr. Big-Shot or something. You never know.

I find that when caged or supposedly domesticated animals kill, it is usually from human error. It still is not the animal's fault. People die of stupidity in one form or another every day.

If the animal is in the wild, it is his territory and the human should be intelligent enough to know the risks.

If a person is on home ground and an animal attacks, I can see having to defend yourself....if necessary. If the person can get to safety, the wildlife or humane authorities should be notified to handle the situation with relocation or whatever needs to be done in that particular case.

Sadly, the animals are mostly killed merely to eliminate a nuisance.

Anyhow, I'll hurt myself if I fall off this soapbox. I just respect all animals.....sometimes more than some humans.
