    Husband Talks about Rhino Attack

    I saw this today on the Weather Channel of all places. Good grief! This is so bizarre.

    When do you not listen to the African wildlife expert? When he tells you to stand closer to the rhino.

    A couple visiting a nature reserve in South Africa, were encouraged by the game park owner to pose for a picture in front of several wild rhinos.

    As soon as he [park owner] took the picture, he took a step back, and you could see the fear in his eyes. When the husband turned around the rhino was right behind him. The next thing he knew his wife was flung in the air.




    Here is another link which gives more details about the attack.

    Sounds like it was a hotel employee who ignored all common sense when it comes to wild animals, and encouraged his clients to do the same. Yikes.

    Common Sense: Never leave home without it.

    I think we better ban African wildlife experts and tourists with no common sense.

    Actually I prefer the wild animals to many people. If they cannot live in harmony with the animals whose fault is it?
