Me and nature have a deal. I stay away
from it and it is supposed to stay away from me. Works most of the
time. But there are laces called zoos and sanctuaries where nature is
locked up and for some reason we feel like things are safer. I'm sure
Renae Ferguson thought she was safe when she asked one of the
zookeepers at the Sunrise Side Nature Trail and Exotic Park if she
could pet a lion. “I put my hand down there to pet it and it ripped
my finger” she said. “I would like to see more precautions taken
to protect the people as well as the animals.” More like protect
the animals from goofy ass people who think that it is fine to pet an
animal that kills other creatures with its face. Its face! Even in
the face of logic as well as the king of the jungle she thinks that
she isn't at fault. She was surprised that a lion bit her finger when
she tried to pet it. Read that sentence again and let it marinate for
a few seconds. She said the park told her not to tell anyone what
happened.The zoo has a different story.
“The lady went into the security area
and was told by the guide to get back and the lady stated she wanted
to touch the lion and continued, against the guide's warning, to put
her finger inside the fence and the lion nipped the end of her
finger.” Just by looking at her picture I believe the parks side of
the story, then I listened to her talk and not sound sound like a
dick, but anyone who thinks the phrase “Oh, my gosh!” after
having their fingertip bitten off probably ate paint chips and bit
the family dogs tail growing up.
