A Serbian newspaper reports that in a children section of a zoo, employees were “walking” a 10-month-old wolf “pup” when the dog suddenly jumped on the back of a two-year-old girl and bit her. Ignorance is the cause of this action.
The reports says, “Walking of cubs of different animal species, including wolves, is a common procedure in the zoo. “It is a polar wolf that was manually brought up and fed, it is not aggressive and acts like a dog. Otherwise, any individual that is aggressive is not released from its cage.”
The ignorance comes from denial, more than likely, that all wild animals, whether they were raised in captivity or not, still can and do display their wild aggressiveness, often without any prior notice.
At what expense ignorance?
