In some ways society has made things so safe (and even worse made it so easy for stupid people to sue because things aren't 'safe enough') that people are taking more and more dumb risks like this. And you just know the mom is going to sue the zoo, and there's going to be investigation by various groups.

It's not the zoo's fault and it's not the dogs fault. It's maroons like this mother that are at fault and we're starting to baby them as a society. I don't see how it's going to get any better. Society, especially in the states really is going to the stupid and lazy.

I don't see what it has to do with society being lazy. People (including you) make mistakes, and sometimes those mistakes have tragic consequences. As a society we sometimes have to take precautions to protect ourselves form the mistakes we make.

Anyone is capable of an error in judgment. This was a horrible error in judgment.
