Where is parental responsibility?
I was shocked to hear that Ag-Venture Farm Shows is being sued because people were sickened from petting its animals. I find this to be yet another case of people taking absolutely no personal responsibility in their lives or of parents blaming anyone else but themselves for failing to properly monitor their children. These petting zoos have barnyard animals that people are allowed to interact with. The experience is enjoyable, fun and educational. Anyone who has ever seen young barnyard animals will know that they occasionally step or lay in their own excrement and therefore by petting one you could touch some. I am not a rancher or farmer. I am the father of three boys who I have taken to petting zoos countless times and each time was wonderful for my children. Do we now let parents who are too irresponsible cause a situation in which petting zoos may not even be able to exist?
