That's where the doctors and hospitals who treat the child, should make sure that the parents and guardians follow up and do teach the child how to act around animals.

Children should not be harmed because we fail to teach them how to interact with other species and animals should not be put to death because we teach them to kill or because we are not responsible enough to consider that they might perceive our approach as a threat.
