They told the kid that the lion just wanted to give a witty bitty kiss but I think we can assume the lion’s intentions were much much worse than that. This kind of freaked me out.

That is crazy! What a jump! That was at least 10 feet.
October 15, 2010 at 10:41 pm
Yikes! I think I would have reacted just the way the kid did.
October 15, 2010 at 11:20 pm
Just a few inches of some synthetic plastic….

Incredible jump! Who would guess that something that big could jump that high?

They really think it was for a kiss? I don't agree with that conclusion.

Dad: 'Did you get that on video?' Fella, your kid just got the water scared out of her and you're wondering if you got it on tape?????

Guess they won't be watching "The Lion King" any time soon in their house.
October 16, 2010 at 2:44 am
oh please "he just wanted to give you a kiss"? that's just a bunch bunk parent tell their kids to make their kids feel better (when the stupid parents don't have a clue). like when parent tell their kids,,, if they are good, when they die they are going to heaven. parents need to get a clue!! people need to start being real.

being real? Maybeso, but saying to your daughter, "Yes the lion wanted to eat you." would probably not be much comfort.

There is really a Lion out there and there is no Glass to stop him and he hunts to kill souls to take to his Kingdom of Despair…
October 16, 2010 at 6:30 am
How about
"Honey, it's ok, the lion wanted to hurt you, but we wouldn't take you anywhere that wasn't safe if you listen to us!"
or
"That's why the plastic is there. That's a really big kitty, we'r like mice to him, so it's OK, he can't get to you."
My folks were honest about such thinks, because if you do the feel-good lie you end up with folks like the moron animal rights activists that get killed by the animals they're "saving."
October 16, 2010 at 2:28 pm
See, my reaction would have probably been to say to my kid, "holy crap! He wanted to eat you for lunch!" You just really can't sugar coat how a lion is going to view a bite-sized person.

It's terrible. Even the little kiddy is aware of the danger implicit in this beast and the silly parents tell the child lies. They should have have confirmed the child's true grip on reality and not try to lie to her. I suppose you can't give what you don't have.
October 16, 2010 at 3:52 pm
Yeah you should be more honest with the kid, but do so in the most comforting way possible. "The lion thought you looked like a yummy snack, but mommy and daddy wouldn't let that happen, see we are safe on this side of the glass" or whatever.
October 16, 2010 at 5:57 pm
Stupid parents that's what's ruining the world today!!
October 16, 2010 at 8:30 pm
How about telling the child, "Yes, that was scary, but we are all safe." A kiss? Set the child up for future danger, why don't ya.
October 16, 2010 at 9:17 pm
Remember, the only difference between a lion and a house cat is several hundred pounds.
October 16, 2010 at 9:43 pm
Setting him up for future danger? When would that be exactly? When he's the next Steve Irwin? Maybe they should have said "Crikey Mate! If that glass wasn't there he'd be right here and we'd have to run so fast so he wouldn't tear our limbs off! You would really be crying then. Too bad, cause that would have been bloody awesome!" How'd that be for "realism?" And to call them stupid parents is rather harsh. They were doing their best in a frightening moment and trying to comfort their kid.

Golly, Anon, because there no way that the kid might meet animals large enough to do him harm! Nobody has medium to large dogs! Mountain lions and all large cats are extinct, outside of zoos, and predatory animals– such as wild or feral canines– can't possibly use predatory body language before an attack.
Much better to lie to a child so that they will interpret I want to eat you animal body-language as ooh, I wuuuuv you!
Grreeaaaaaaat idea.

Mountain lions are most definitely not extinct outside of zoos–not even close. Nor are black bears, or coyotes. All of these can be encountered in fairly ordinary settings. Cathy J
