Parents encourage their children getting involved with many things, including animals. Let them try different things out, see what they like. Some people grow up with animals. They teach responsibility. But accidents can happen anywhere, even when a boy is paired with an older, trusted animal. Health emergencies can also happen to animals. You can only hope that when this occurs, tragedy can be avoided.
