I remember a case at a national parks back in the '60s, where a mother thought it would be cute to have a bear in the picture with her 3 year old daughter. She smeared honey on the kid's hands and walked away to get a picture. By the time she turned around, the bear had finished that "honey-coated hands" treat. Fucking stupid. The ranger said that the mother's concept of nature was from Disney cartoons. Now raise that kid with next to nothing for hands.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
