Discount website Wowcher has apologised after a marketing email appeared to reference a crocodile attack on a toddler at a zoo.<\/p>\n
A three-year-old boy is understood to have been attacked by at least one crocodile after ending up in their enclosure<\/a> during a family trip to Johnsons of Old Hurst near Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, on Thursday.<\/p>\n An email sent to Wowcher customers on Saturday featured a list of getaways and activities under the subject line: “Snap up these deals quicker than a croc can catch a kid!”<\/p>\n Screenshots were shared across social media prompting outrage, with Wowcher later saying in a statement that it was extremely sorry for the “unacceptable” wording. <\/p>\n The firm added: “It should never have been written, it was never approved for use. The responsibility sits with us and we are urgently reviewing how our processes failed. <\/p>\n “We recognise the hurt and distress it has caused, particularly for the young child’s family at this unimaginably difficult time.”<\/p>\n The little boy was pulled from the crocodile enclosure by zoo staff<\/a> and is now in a critical but stable condition at Addenbrooke’s Hospital.<\/p>\n
