Well, here's one way of looking at it... Ask yourself what you work with everyday. Is it an animal? A computer? Plants? Whatever it is, I assume that you know it very well, understand it, and aren't hurt by it?

Blur, welcome! Nice to see another Australian on Pet Talk I lived in Sydney for three years until the end of 2002 - miss the jacarandas but don't miss the humidity

I can't agree with this logic. I drive a car every day, yet statistically, I will have an accident while driving. I cook several times a day, but have burned, stabbed and cut myself numerous times. I pet my cats every day, but sometimes misread or ignore their body language and get bitten during play.

I'm sure Steve set up the situation to be as safe as possible, but I just can't agree with using a one-month-old child as a prop in a stunt.

But I wholeheartedly agree with your earlier post about the media having a field day. It's been blown out of all proportion by the press.
