I'm sorry, but I laughed my ass off when I watched this. I wish there would have been sound so I could have heard the kid screaming. If it was staged, then I kind of give kudos to the parents for their stupid actions - I have to admit, dressing their sprog up like prey and making her stand in front of a bear was sort of clever. I know they're hard to see, but the faces of the other viewers up in the top right corner of that video show obvious amusement at the incident. I can't help but smile when parents do stuff to torment their kids like this.
But as you said in the original entry, had the kid actually gotten hurt...the tank broke and the bear tore the kid to shreds, for example...those parents would have sued in a heartbeat, and it would have been the fault of the polar bear for being a damn polar bear and acting upon its instincts when being provoked.
I wonder if there are still seal hats available at that zoo.
