Leopard attacks seven-year-old in US zoo
A seven-year-old has been released from hospital after a leopard at Sedgwick County Zoo attacked him.
The boy climbed over a barrier and went up to the cage, but the leopard reached through the wire mesh and clawed at the boy’s head. Some have called for the animal to be put down, but what do you think? Was it the boy’s fault?

It is not the leopards fault it couldn't help it, the leopard probably thought he was food. So the boy should not of climbed in. However I hope the boy is alright!

No I don't think the leapord should be put down for it, because it was stupid of the boy to have climbed over, but it wasn't completely his fault

It was not the boys fault he was seven years old. Where were his parents and the zoo should have been more safety wise.

It was the boys fault as even at 7 he should know by instinct that you don't do this. The leopard eats meat so of coarse it would try to kill the boy. The leopard should not be killed. ):

Of course it was thevstupid boys fault!I do t think the zoo should be more safety wise as a barrier is enough to show not to go any further.
