I wouldn't care if it was a lion or a ****ing grizzly bear....I'm in there trying to at least fend it off and save the live of my child. As SOON as my child falls in.

What a worthless mother...not only for being irresponsible enough to put the child in danger by setting it on a rail...but then for sitting there watching the child be mauled.

Challenge it to a set-to? Let's be serious. It's just like when people say a parent can lift a truck when their kid is lying underneath it. Two things: They can try to lift that truck, but it isn't fucking moving. And if your kid is underneath a truck, your kid is already dead.

SportsAndLady;1313517 wrote:Exactly...those dogs have your kid, there is NOTHING you are going to do to save your kid's life. Jumping down there is just going to get both of you killed.

It'd be like if your kid fell out of a plane without a parachute, and you jumping down to "save" him/her without a parachute.

WebFire;1313602 wrote:Any body who says they wouldn't go in doesn't have kids, and if they do, probably shouldn't. If my kid fell in, I wouldn't even hesitate. First of all, you are assuming the kid is already dead. Maybe the kid is alive and you can distract the animal enough for help to get there. And yes, distract might mean you getting eaten.

Kind of goes along with house fires. My kids will not die in house fire unless I do to.

reclegend22;1313609 wrote:I agree if the kid is still clearly alive and just in the pen and the animal hasn't attacked it yet, then you should definitely jump in. That is a no-brainer. My point was that if the lion is already eating your child, it is fucking over. Jumping in at that point is just suicide.

Extreme examples? Snotbubble said he would get in a rumble with a lion. Give me a fucking break.

SportsAndLady;1313633 wrote:Haha yeah. I mean I didn't bring up the fact that if someone's 2 year old was dropped into a man eating lion's pit, he/she would jump in to do...nothing? But get eaten themselves?

Is the comparison not legit? If you jump from a plane after your falling kid, and neither of you can live, is that not the same as jumping in a lion's pit after your kid?

It's bad enough that you stupidly possible just killed your child, I don't think becoming snack number two and leaving other potential children plus your significant other is a very good idea.

Notice that when the employees and cops finally came into the area to retrieve the child, a cop had to shoot one of the dogs. You won't be jumping into the pen with a gun, so not such a good idea.
