Kids Learn Life Isn't A Disney Movie

Which is probably a good thing. The Daily Mail reports: "Shocking moment Juniper the bear scarfs down little ducklings in front of screaming children at Seattle zoo." The article relates:

    She can be seen biting the ducks' heads off and slurping them down before finally going after the mama duck.

    She paid no attention to the bystanders behind the glass, who smacked and shouted in an attempt to distract her.

    Although kids can be heard screaming in the video, they did not appear to be experiencing stress or horror. 

    It sort of reminds me of all the anguish over South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem's admission that 20 years ago, she put down one of her dogs after it attacked and killed a family's chickens and bit Noem. Well, that is just a fact of life in farm country: a dog that attacks and kills livestock is put down. And most states require that vicious dogs be euthanized. Was she just supposed to pass the dog onto some unsuspecting family and have it bite a child or kill other animals?
