[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 364251, member: 1963"] There's a heckuva difference between intentional animal cruelty and a toddler having to be taught how to be kind and safe with animals. Most toddlers have to be taught not to pull tails, put fingers in ears, bother an animal when it is eating or grooming itself. Animal cruelty involves the intent to cause pain and recieving reactions that provide positive feedback. It's a HUGE red flag for later behavioral issues. That said, for safety reasons, NO child should be allowed near an animal without adult supervision. [/QUOTE]
