There was a large number of people there specifically in case they were needed and while I wouldn't want to be anywhere near Steve Irwin when he was fucking with venomous snakes. I would trust his judgment when it came to safety around crocs any day. Arguably he was the most experienced person on the planet when it came to large reptiles.

your right. what normal parent wouldn't jump at the chance to take their infant child into an enclosed area with meat eating predators and toss them meat while they lunge at you?

normal. totally normal parental behavior.

HELLO!! experience? huh?
thats one of the dumbest things anyone could say about things to do with a baby.

i am an experienced motorcyclist with an 06' hayabusa (worlds fastest production bike) - wanna know why don't i take infants along for rides? well... hate to point out the obvious, but shit happens. plain and simple. shit happens. the second i do it, i put that infant at risk. unnecessary risk. unnecessary risk with lethal consequences. and what normal person would willingly do that?

please feel free to trust your kids wiht the worlds most experienced heroin addicts. i'm sure they'll be fine. as for myself, i would opt for a little descretion and concern for the safety and wellbeing of the child. thats what any parent would do. hell.. its ingrained in your own genetic programming.
