A Sign of Our Times?

While driving with the family today, we came across this sign at a small petting zoo near an apple farm.  Are we really at a point where we have to tell people not to hit, kick or climb on little animals?  I think the answer is yes.

We have to tell employees to wear goggles around equipment.  We have training to remind all that harassment is wrong.  We teach kids to obey the "Golden Rule" but can't tell them the source.

People do wrong and stupid things.  Maybe signs will help, but the need for signage I think is a bigger problem.  Common sense and common decency in the workplace or petting zoo is becoming more rare each year.

So let's be nice to ourselves, co-workers and llamas too; even if we don't see a sign.
