Even my niece, who I love dearly, at 18 sometimes gets on my nerves when I take her, commenting “it’s hot,” about 10 times an hour. At one point I even snapped at her “I’m hot too, what do you want me to do about it?” When I had enough of the complaining. I honestly can’t imagine how bad it would be with a young child.

Unfortunately, I don't know if there are any social tactics anyone could use against rude breeders that would work because breeders and their brats have no shame and fully believe the world is their backyard and they can do anything they want. Even if you're polite, they'll take anything other than praise as an affront and light into you verbally or maybe physically, depending on how unhinged they are. Breeders are getting more violent, and along with a lack of shame comes worse anger management and they might decide to start swinging or shooting if you dare tell their precious dumplings to move or quit acting like assholes.
I don't know what breeder in their right mind would take a child under the age of maybe 12 to a park like that. Anything younger will be prone to tantrums, cranky whining from being tired and not wanting to walk, constant whining about being hungry or needing to pee (or pissing themselves because they tell you they have to go two seconds before their bladders pop), not getting their own way, the heat, or any of about a hundred other things that set little kids off. Taking a young child to a park of any sort is a fucking nightmare and you can't tell me it's worth the one vaguely cute photo they get of their horrid brats to pay to go through an entire day of trouble.
Sorry your visit sucked so bad due to brats and their handlers, but you at least got a couple decent photos of the kitties!

Fantastic. And you know if one of those uncoordinated beasts had fallen, the noise and screaming would have been even worse. And instead of letting bratleigh know that, “that’s what you get for running in public,” the breeder would have put on a show for you guys by cooing over it. “Look what a nice mawm I am! Comforting my chyyyyld!” Ugh.
Restaurants, movie theaters, theme parks, and airplanes should ban children under 8 or so, at least.

It was definitely worth the extra $30, I’d highly recommend it. The cheetahs were adorable, you get to watch them drink from a bottle, do some of their commands, and learn about their training regimen.
Image button didn’t work so I just put one photo on Pinterest and put the link above

I went out to lunch with friends recently. We were seated in the terrace and when we got there, there was nobody sitting near us, which was nice because the tables are kind of small and very close together. However, as soon as we'd placed our order they seated some breeders next to us. The kids (maybe 2 and 5?) were making all sorts of noise, which the breeders did nothing to quell. Soon, of course, the brats were bored and started running around the terrace. This of course resulted in the toddler injuring itself wailing disproportionately, more than once.
Once the people got their food, the kids kept running from their play back to the table to be fed, trampling on my bag in the process. Rather than actually sit the kids down and make them eat, the breeders held out forkfuls of food which the kids would eat before running off to be a nuisance again. Rinse and repeat, the whole damn meal. I was reminded of noisy nestlings being fed vomit by their elders, except in this case the nestlings were the ones flapping around wildly while the adults stayed put. Kids usually have appalling table manners, but in this case the breeders had worse ones. There is no reason whatsoever to put food directly in the mouth of a child past infancy.
I don't go out very often, and this incident reminded me of why. I was counting down the minutes until the food arrived and we could leave.
