If it were my child, she would have had the rabies injections (not that
we
have rabies here, but you know what I mean!).

And the animals were not euthanased, they were put down. Big
difference.


Just because I don't know .. what exactly is the difference?
Thanks,



Euthanized: put out of their own misery
put down: put out of someone else's misery

Yes, I agree. I used to be a vet tech and we used the word "ethanized"
for every animal we killed - but we didn't kill on demand. It's
probably a habit in language I should change.

I should have finished my sentence better When I said "I can
understand the girl not wanting the series of shots but she should have been
MADE to take responsibility for what she did!!" I should have added at the
end that she should have been made to have the shots as way of being help
responsible (since she hates shots she sure would have known she did wrong
everytime she had one. Sorry if I wasn't very clear

the parents when she was climbing the rocks? It just shows ignorance
really
does breed ignorance. They should have put the family down rather than
the
animals.

Gee Pip, you're more radical than I, LOL!! IMO, they should have MADE
her take the rabies shots. Maybe then she'd think twice about doing it
again.

The five meerkats euthanized Thursday at the Minnesota Zoo tested
negative this morning for rabies, two days after one of them bit a
child
who reached into their exhibit.

i'm curious as to why you "hate" other parents (what, all of them? including
me? ;-) because the zoo's policy is moronic & the child is at fault?

the zoo is at fault here as well, (twice). i don't like zoos. i don't mind
most parents, though. it's not clear to me how this incident would lead to
parent-hating, unless it's just something you like to do, in which case
finding more "reasons" is probably a bit redundant.

I think there is some risk to the rabies vaccine. I don't know much about
them, but I know my stepdad was bitten by a rabid dog while on vacation.

There is something. My family had the shots back when you got a bunch of
shots in the stomach. They may be better now, I don't know. Anyway my
mother reacted and the poor woman looked about 7mos pregnant before she was
done with them. She was skinny as can be to begin with. That was a
horrible experience. I remember my brother and I (probably about 5 and 6)
crying and carrying on when we got to within 10 minutes of the clinic and it
took 4 nurses to hold my brother down every time. That was from a kitten at
my aunts farm.

Lyn is a Childfree Wannabe. She calls the rest of us Breeder Cows.
She's Perfect because she adopted a child and doesn't let him eat in
public because she thinks children in restaurants are the nth level of
Hell.

LOL And sometimes it can be. What most people do not understand is the
parent with the screaming kid is praying that the wait staff will bring the
check RIGHT NOW. We get out of the habit of all eating at the table from
time to time, and when we do the kids do awful eating out. The more we eat
at the table the better they do eating out.

But what did Ethan think of it?

Yeah, the way I see it, there are family restaurants. If someone
doesn't want to deal with noisy kids, then stay home.

Nan

Yup that is why they give free food to kids on tuesdays :P
