(Not about the incident itself. My heart goes out to the poor child and his family, and I don’t want to discuss the details of the incident itself because there are lots of threads on that already.)

AIBU??! Every news report I’ve read says that “the wife of the zoo owner” jumped in to save the boy.

Is she not also the zoo owner then??

AIBU to be annoyed that this heroic woman is being referred to by her marriage to a man and not her own credentials?

I think I read the farm was originally his father's so maybe it is his.

It doesn't mean shes also the zoo owner, no.
I had a business when I was married, it didn't mean the business was also my husbands.
