[Kidder]

I'm kind of with Polak on this one. My first impression was, how could nobody jump in?

In all likelihood there wasn't a hoard of men leaning on the railing when this transpired, and even if there were patrons close to the exhibit when this happened the speed of which these dogs attacked probably killed the boy in a matter of seconds.

But I'd like to think that if I saw a 2 year old fall into a hyena pit I'd be right over the railing after. Maybe I'd get mauled to death in seconds as well but I couldn't imagine living with myself if I watched a young child gets ripped to shreds a short distance below. But I also agree no one should feel any shame for not jumping in to their possible death.

Then again, I was somebody who thought they could beat up 20+ five-year-olds in that thread a few years back. When push comes to shove I don't really know how I'd react.
