This is where the problem is.

Umm, a sign isn't enough. She shouldn't be ABLE to feed the animals even if she tried. We should have all our rights taken away from us if the guidelines already in place lead to the harming of some.

 

[Ninja_sheep]

She should've stayed in the kitchen x)

jk, but that's really stupid.

 

[Avaleirra]

This is where the problem is.

Maybe she is illiterate?

 

[Ninva]

lol, I can't believe this is here.

 

[BlackRose]

I want to +REP that woman.

 

[Slapshot136]

She shouldn't be ABLE to feed the animals

1. there were barriers
2. nothing is completely idiot proof

Maybe she is illiterate?

3. I'm sure the signs had a picture with a big red circle with a slash through it as well
