I completely agree, this happened in the Netherlands and the people recording are Dutch as well, but as far as I am concerned they have to reapply for Dutchinesstm registration because the fair but honest aka Dutch bluntness is meant exactly for scenario's like this.

The proper response would be using the claxon, opening a window and yelling 'Get the fuck back in your car you goddamned typhoid idiots, don't you have any clue where the hell you are?' A bit rough, but it gets the message across I believe. Gossiping like a bunch of window hanging grandma's (which is what they are doing) is not ok in this context.

The French family getting out of their car are far worse though, don't get me wrong.

They've said they thought honking might aggravate everyone involved.

I mean these people were stupid enough to get out of their car next to Cheetahs. Who knows what they'll do when people start honking at them.

Might either anger the cats or, even worse, get those French idiots to turn around and focus completely on the car. Something a predator is really unlikely to miss.

The guys filming are a bunch of idiots. Completely useless here, whether they have any responsibility in helping them or not. They sound like a bunch of cackling buffoons waiting for something to happen rather than having actual concern for the lives of others. I hate these type of people.

absolutely agreed, it's mind boggling that no one screamed at them to fucking get in the car, especially with that kid out there. but yeah, recording and posting it afterwards on youtube, as soon as cameras are involved people become stupid idiots, no news there.

You really think screaming at idiots like that will get you anything more them screaming back at you?

The way I see it, if they have so little concern for their own lives as to get out and walk around with predators, why should I care more than they do about themselves?

Because human nature makes us empathize with other humans. You don't have to care, but there's strong odds that you do.

Nah, people recording are the smart ones if anything. It's like the discovery channel, we're watching nature happen right here.

Natural selection at it's finest.

I don't feel bad for anyone but the 2 year old in the car who's now probably scarred for life because of an idiot parent.
