...granted it was only a five year old girl and her attacker was only a goose...but still, the girl was afraid and usually humans try to comfort and even defend frightened little girls, not video them. But the temptation to get a video up on youtube and, who knows, earn the distinction of having it go "viral", which I think is code for "people noticed me", was too great.

One would like to think that if it was a dog ready to maul a little girl, someone would help and not stand by with a camera....then again, just think how viral THAT would go.

Once having heard it who can forget about the photographer in Africa some years back who followed a starving, dying, African girl around while vultures inched ever closer to her...granted it made compelling viewing....but.

To his credit the photographer killed himself a few years later...one would like to think that his recovered humanity made it impossible to live with himself.

The girl also died and the vultures, the ones with feathers, got her in the end.

Anything happening out there? Anyone home?
