   Zoos are a fascinating concept. They utilize panes of plexi-glass and steel bars to separate nature's perfect killers from us defenseless humans so we can peer into their eyes and experience what a moment in their presence feels like - within the safety measures provided, of course.
    One typical day, a sweet mother was taking her young son and only child to the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium for an educational class, and decided to walk him around the zoo afterwards to see the different animals. With large glasses that helped 2-year old Maddox Derkosh to compensate for the poor vision he was born with, he eagerly peered through the windows and over the railings at the different exhibits. There was just one exhibit, featuring a pack of 11 African Painted Dogs, of which he couldn't see the animals well enough. His doting mother had an innocent idea of lifting him up onto the railing for a better view, but nobody could have saw what was coming when sweet little Derkosh and his large Harry-Potter-style glasses fell forward out of her arms and 14 feet into the exhibit below.
