Visiting Wild Animals

Once again people have chosen to "visit" wild animals, someone has gotten hurt, and GOSH, the animals are blamed. Suppose someone comes into your home without your invitation, does something you feel (rightly or wrongly) is threatening, and you defend yourself. Do the police come in and haul you off for punishment? No. Well, I hope not.

Why is it when humans intrude into a wild animal's territory and get themselves hurt (no, I'm not blaming the toddler who also had no choice), the animals are punished, even killed? If we mark an an area as "wild" then WE should take the consequences if we overstep the rules of the animals there.

I completely agree with Scarabrea. The dingoes were not at fault. There is a saying about sharks, "when you swim in the sea, remember who is your landlord" The same applies to all wild beasts. 156.8.251.250 (talk) 23:27, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
