And were were the handlers? Why did it take 3 minutes for them to remove the cheetahs?

There are things we normal people can never understand. From the video, it seems the husband is more angry than the wife.
Handlers should also be with the visitors. I say it is the fault of popular media which had been portrait cheetah as completely harmless wild animals. Big cats are big cats. They are stronger than humans, and they have weapons on them 24/7.
I didn't get to see the video. I think it wasn't available here.
We can put the blame on a lot of people. We can blame the media but in the end it comes down to a lack of common sense. I'm not afraid of dogs but at times I know when I need to be really careful around certain ones.
The media might have played a part in it but others are more to blame. The one running the petting zoo didn't do everything they could imo to keep customers safe. If there are two big cats in there they should have at least 2 if not more handlers in there just in case things go bad.
I'm sure the handlers would be cheaper then any lawsuit.
