"Apart from the post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy embedded in the question there's this issue of something (e.g. dynamite) being especially dangerous. What if a child dressed as an orangutan opened the door and the guy had a heart attack It seems to me the danger should arise from some ability/aspect (e.g. fangs on a lion) of the wild animal but for which the heart attack would not have occurred rather than the mere fact that the animal happens to be undomesticated. The more I see of these questions the madder I get at those who design these tests"
