I overheard this story in the kitchen at work today. The CW in question is deeply stupid and so lacking in self awareness that I often marvel that she manages to function. It seems that she took her children to the zoo at the weekend, and her ten-year-old son (contrary to all the many posted signs I know are there, I've been to the zoo) wriggled through an outer fence, crossed the neutral zone and stuck his hand through an inner fence. He was promptly bitten by an inquisitive oryx or llama, she wasn't sure on species, which is how I often feel about her.
Anyway, as she proudly told everyone within earshot of the kitchen, she found a keeper and shouted at him for five minutes or so about the dangers of this vicious herbivore. When another CW asked why she didn't stop her child crossing two barriers and ignoring signs, she didn't seem to understand the question. Wow. Brain Trust. In other news I'm going to a zoo on Saturday, where I shall pointedly not place my hands near the exhibits and shall tut loudly when anyone calls an ape 'a cute little monkey'.
