美国8岁女童喂食海豚遭咬手

2012-12-11来源:ABC

“A little girl who was bitten by a dolphin at Seaworld.” Check this out with our caught on videotape. This is a girl whose dream is to one day work with dolphins. Her parent’s new-visiting SeaWorld on their trip to Orlando was a must but they may now be regretting it.

Here you go!Julian Thomas, who is 8 years old, says dolphins are her favorite animals. So imagine her horror when this happened during a recent trip to SeaWorld.Mom, what about the fish?

Julian sitting here, innocently feeding the dolphins at the theme park’s popular dolphin cove.It was in the middle of her second visit of the day. That’s when she apparently made a crucial mistake, raising the small plate of dolphin food in the air out of excitement. The park warns people not to do that, the dolphin apparently eager for that bait, chops down on Julian’s arm instead nearly dragging her into the water. Her souvenir, a set of teeth marks, the size of dimes.

Turn it out like this?I don’t want to.Her parents are furious, claiming SeaWorld employees trivialize the attack. In a statement, SeaWorld officials said “Nothing is more important to us than the health and safety of our guests, employees and animals. Educators and animal care staff were at the attraction when this happened and immediately connected with the family.”

This is not the first time a child has been bitten by dolphins at SeaWorld. Similar incidents happened twice back in 2006. Still the park’s not yet said whether will make any changes to this attraction.As for Julian, her mom says her wounds are still visible but that what her daughter’s really worry about is that the dolphin may be hurt after eating the paper plate in her hands, sweet kid.

Oh, yeah, her favorite animal. She is like she wasn’t dragged into the water.Yeah, she is.
