Epic Fail: Hey, Is That Kid Edible Edition

CNN's headline: Child attacked by leopard

(CNN) -- A child on a school outing was attacked by a leopard at a Wichita, Kansas, zoo, authorities said Friday.
The boy, a student from Linwood Elementary, was with classmates on a field trip at the Sedgwick County Zoo when, around 1:15 p.m., witnesses said, he "went over a railing" and approached the Amur leopard exhibit, said Lt. Jay McLaurian of the county sheriff's department.
How about "epic fail for school and zoo staff nearly gets stupid kid killed?"  How safe is it that a first grader can get through to the animals?  Who was watching the children, and were they high?  Yes, the animal attacked, because that's what leopards do.  A kid too young to understand consequences nearly got killed, because that's what they do, too.  The fail is on the part of the safety enforcers and supervisors who nearly got an innocent child killed and an innocent animal destroyed.
