I was going to stay out of this thread for good but I just can't.

Safety and Surviving are two completely different things. I never once said that jumping in would be "safe".

And as for the video argument (where my last post left off). I see zero relationship between what a pack of zoo dogs would do if confronted by a group of human males and what they do when they chase one helpless animal with zero way of defending itself besides running. Humans have 4 useful limbs (unlike the dog), a mouth and a distinct size and strength advantage. Add in the fact that these dogs are in a zoo and most likely consider humans as leaders (like there keepers) and thats why I think (and as mentioned earlier, here come the "what if's") if:

- The baby was able to survive the fall and there was a delay as to when the animals noticed the baby (were they all by the railing? or were they spread out)

- Enough willing guys around

Things might have played out a lot differently.

Thats it. I'm not posting in this thread anymore. Thats my case. Agree to disagree.
