介绍:
A 9 year old boy has had his arm bitten off by a bear when he was visiting a zoo in central China's Henan province. The 9-year-old boy had tried to feed the bear through its cage, which is covered by steel net and surrounded by a 1.2-meter-high steel fence. Although a notice banning visitors from access was displayed near the cage, the boy climbed over the fence, walked to the cage, and fed a black bear inside. As a result, the bear bit off the child's entire right arm.

How stupid this boy is! He's already nine years old, in his third or fourth grade in primary school. Can't he read the notice on the bear cage? Furthermore it is common sense that animals in the zoo should not be fed at will, especially those carnivores like bears—they don't know where your hand starts and where the food ends. Did he watch too many cartoons like "Boonie Bears" and take bears as natural friends of the human being? In that sense he's really too naïve. I think this time every kid should draw a lesson from this boy's experience. Don't feed any animal in the zoo any more!

I think animals in this zoo should be better taken care of in the future. In this tragedy there was indeed dereliction of duty for zoo managers. For example, the boy fed the bear through a hole on its cage, so no staff in the zoo ever noticed there were holes on the bear cage which meant a danger in potential? They should really pay more attention in the future to put those animals they're in charge of under their firm control.

The kid was accompanied by his grandfather when he visited the zoo. So he was monitored by an adult when he fed the bear. And I'm quite surprised that his grandfather would even permit him to do so. As a man at least fifty years old, he also had no sense that bear is a dangerous animal? Couldn't he read the notice hanging on the cage that bans visitors from feeding them? How could he allow his grandson to access them at will? I think all parents should also take a lesson from this boy's experience to better monitor their kids in the future.
-----------------------------Notes:--
The zoo is part of the Pingdingshan Hebin Park located in Pingdingshan (平顶山) city.--The boy's entire right arm has been amputated. He still needs at least one more month for further medical treatment.--The zoo has made a pledge to pay for all medical expenses and already paid 5,000 yuan.--According to animal experts, bears are usually docile and afraid of people. But bears that have been fed or exposed to food from humans would see people as a source of food and can become aggressive sometimes.

It's such a strong boy! He didn't even cry after getting hurt by the bear and during the whole operation process in hospital. When he woke up from the operation, the first thing he did was consoling his parents and relatives not to worry too much about him, saying he would practice his left hand and arm after losing the right. What a good boy! His family is poor, and his medical treatment in hospital costs a high amount of money. I think all of us should do something we can to help him out of such a tragedy.
(LK) But on weibo.com, Yin Lu expresses a different opinion, There's really something wrong with adults in this boy's family. When his parents were noticed of this tragedy, the first reaction of the boy's father was beating up the notifier, who is a middle-aged woman. No wonder they had such a son as reckless as to directly feed the bear! Eagles do not breed doves! And after the tragedy happened, all relatives of the kid put a harsh blame on the zoo. The zoo has already pledged to pay all medical expenses for the boy, right? After all, it's the boy who violated the regulation at first!
(JA) And Wu Mingzhe points out on blog.sina.com.cn,
The media is rather irresponsible and misleading on this incident. It's such a plain fact that it's the boy who violated the zoo's regulations at first, who resulted in getting hurt by animal. Why almost all media reports put the blame on the zoo? Yeah we should protect the children, but that doesn't mean we lose principle or take the black as white. The fact is very simple: it's the kid who did something wrong, not zoo mangers!
