7News Just In — Child dies after Victorian petting zoo visit. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
A Victorian petting zoo is under investigation after a little girl died from an infection linked to farm yard animals. Now the mother of a second infected child has a warning for all Australian parents as the zoo owner promises it won't happen again. On the outskirts of Belnaring, rain, rain and shine children's farm informed last night the three-year-old who'd fallen ill after her visit there had died. The girl visited the farm in July, contracting hemolictic uremic syndrome, which can be spread through animal feces. After a six-week long battle in ICU, her family confirmed we've lost our darling girl. Brooke Snorke's visited the same farm with her son Noah two months earlier. He contracted horse-two and went into kidney failure. We actually didn't know the time that it could have been, some of that could affect his brain for life or even the worst case scenario could be death.
Noah survived and while Brooke doesn't blame the farm, she wants it named so parents are informed. Some people might be completely fine to go again or some people might choose that's not worth the risk for them. The health department investigated the farm ordering changes. Handwash, is it name P? Yeah, okay. Until we put in new handwashers in here. Yeah. Well, I don't know what we can do really. The health horse can be contracted in many ways. Authorities can't definitively link the cases to the farm, but the owner knows enough to promise. They want it to happen again. The farm has been operating for decades and has stressed to seven news that this is the only time they've been linked to this sort of illness. The owners have expressed their deepest condolences adding this message to parents. Look out your kids. Look out your kids. For a turner, seven news.
