Vegan actor Harley Quinn Smith says humans are to blame for photo-op jaguar attack

Actor and musician Harley Quinn Smith took to Instagram on Tuesday to argue that it is people who are to blame for last Saturday’s jaguar attack on a woman taking a selfie at a zoo.

The incident reportedly occurred when a woman seeking a photo-op climbed over a barrier at Arizona’s Wildlife World Zoo, only to have her arm torn open by a captive jaguar reaching through a fence.

While NBC Reporter Morgan Chesky says that the lesson here is “that snapping a selfie is not worth sacrificing safety”, Smith sees another take-home from the event.

“This wouldn’t have happened if animals weren’t kept captive in zoos,” she said, in her Instagram story.

Seems simple enough.
