- 55. Up Close and Personal Do you think children should have a relationship that is up close and personal? That means that you should be able to touch and handle animals. Children should be allowed to pet animals when they walk up to a zoo cage. or Step Back That Animal is Wild Do you think children should not be able to touch animals when they walk up to their cage? Children should respect wild animals and think about the animal’s personal space.
