        Reports noted clear signage DO NOT FEED THE ANIMALS - family threw bread & child sat on the ledge. Stay away from wild animals. Not hard.

        1. Leave the parents alone. 2.Looked to me like the sea lion wanted to play. 3. applaud the bystander for his immediate reaction to dive in.

        In fairness a) they fed the sea lion which you should never do b) the sea lion jumped at the girl, who then turned her back and sat down

        Bite warning signs posted. It popped up once & she backed away. Why sit on the ledge after? I'm not claiming perfect parent, but come on...

        Yes because no longer can anyone tolerate parents or kids having a lapse of judgement without a mob of torches and pitchforks.

        You know people make mistakes. Accidents also happen. I don't understand the collective delight in someone else's misfortune.

        As they should. What happened is the parents fault. The sea lion is behaving like a sea lion. They MUST take responsibility.

        The animal has already acted aggressively. They were foolish to let her sit down beside it.
