They do not need to be wild animals, I spent summer and winter vacations and worked at my uncles farm, he had, cows, pigs, sheep, goats and my aunt had a seasonal boarding house, the city folks would always try to pet the animals, mind you they were domestic, even they have an area where you do not approach if they do not know you!
During the time that we had the city folks we were very vigilant where we placed the electric fences, away from the guests, some still managed to get hurt even after repeated warnings not to do it.
People do not understand the speed and force that the animal can use just to let them know to move away, that animal does not know how frail we are, we do brake easy.
Children are even more vulnerable, they do not realize the danger that they are in, and some grown ups, simply ignore it.
Stupid is as stupid ignores.
