Two entitled parents demand that their child hold the very venomous green mamba, that their

spoiled child is absolutely obsessed with at the zoo. But even after they are obviously told

no that's not gonna happen, they freak out and cause a massive scene, and I honestly could

not be more baffled by their stupidity. Here's what happened. So I work at a zoo and we're mostly

close for the winter, but our reptile house is still open, because it's kept at the same

said this, it was then the parents turned to get upset, and not only upset, they got very loud,

and they started calling me a terrible zookeeper, and that I should apparently just let their kid

hold the snake. Eventually, and thankfully my manager hears the commotion, and so did pretty much
