We’re not here to pass judgement or anything… but this doesn’t seem like a particularly bright move.
These photographs, tweeted by Ciaran Ferrie, show a child in Dublin Zoo this afternoon standing inside the fence of the rhino enclosure for what appears to be a photograph.
And while the child is still separated from the animals by a trench, it seems to be a bizarre flaunting of the zoo’s rules… not to mention common sense.

Unsurprisingly, Twitter’s reaction could be best summed up as ‘WTF’
