People slam little girl's parents

The video has garnered more than 20,000 upvotes and over 12,000 comments. People criticised the parents for putting their child in harm's way.

"I bet if the sea lion would have attacked the kid, the parents would have sued the place for not putting up a sign that says 'don¡¯t let your children mount the animals'," one user commented.

"Guarantee the same parents would also let her do that to dogs and then act shocked and blame the dog when she's bit," another user said.

¡°This guy is an idiot, and should be charged with child endangerment,¡± another added. ¡°I do feel bad for the kid, you can tell the parents are content hungry, especially when the one just stands there to keep recording," fourth commented. ¡°How f******* stupid can you be as a parent to let your kid anywhere near a sea lion,¡± commented another

"Why¡¯d anyone abuse a animal that way. Smh. The things ppl see as ok always baffles me. That¡¯ll never be ok. Parents should be ashamed of themselves. I don¡¯t blame the child. I blame the parents," another said.

"That sea lion was annoyed at best. That was not a attack. Kid would be dead if it attacked. Those parents are stupid for letting their kid mount something that eats penguins their child's size for literal breakfast," another angry commenter added.
