I grew up in south east London in a nature free environment. My lack of exposure to nature and wild animals, as a child, led me to think that animals did as humans told them to. For example, I saw cows being milked on TV; circus animals doing what their trainers told them to; dogs in the street that did as their owners told them - so my expectations were that animals did as they were told and humans were in charge. Imagine my surprise when my cousins dog bit me when I got hold of him in exactly they way she and her family did! And then my aunt told me off! Maybe the adults who think it’s safe to wander around in cheetah enclosures had a very urban upbringing with no exposure to the nature of nature ?, and simply never matured intellectually beyond the consciousness of eleven year old me.
