It's very true she has brought all this upon herself. It makes me wonder what is going through the mind of an individual who decides to pull off stupid stunts like this? What does he or she think they are accomplishing??
Now, ahem, this is where I come from ok? (probably shouldn't tell you guys this but....)
When I was 16 we used to have a trailer in a campground up around pe****orough....we got to know all the farm girls (yes) and there was one who was big in the community and they had obtained a lioness and a cheetah for a parade/event. They had them in cages in their driving shed. We found out about it and when up to check them out.
We were told to stay away from the cheetah cuz it was ornery but the lioness was pretty tame. Now they were in chain link pens and we were told it was ok to pet it through the cage. So we did. Gave it scratches etc and there was a rag it liked to play tug of war with.
We were there for about an hour and then left.
We told my mother about it later that day and she wanted to go see them. So we called, were told it was ok, and up we went.
Now my whole family are animal lovers (shut up you pervs) so of course my mother was excited. We got up there, showed her how to touch it safe, and it was rubbing against the fence in all it's glory getting so much attention. My mother says "it's just like a kitten" OOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW well the fucking idiot was PETTING IT ON THE SNOT and it flipped it's head and bit down on her hand..........when she started pulling, it thought "hey I know this game" and pulled back...well it bit off the end of her finger.......took months and months of surgery etc to get it so she could type again (she was a secretary).
I told you this because a) some women are just stupid and b) some people don't realize that what we see others do with these animals doesn't mean they are tame and safe.....
We all said to her "what the fuck do you think you were doing"? I mean, we were crazy kids but we knew it probably wasn't a good idea to go anywhere NEAR the dangerous end of the lion....I mean REALLY? how dumb do you have to be? (obviously she was).
Now I relate this because I could see this wingnut (the one in the op's story) seeing those coke commercials, probably seen handlers with polar bears etc, and thought they are so cute and cuddly........
We always talk about the dumbing down of society and this story is a perfect example of this........
