They sell fridge magnets with this sign on them so I think they were intended to be funny.

Odd that I remember this sign very specifically from when I went to the zoo when I was like eight.

Well, it doesn’t say anything about taunting them.

* taunts the animals *

“Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!”

It most certainly was a real sign. I took the picture, at the San Diego Zoo, on my honeymoon in 1982.

It still cracks me up, and I’m happy to see that so many other people have enjoyed it, too.

Lol, my science teacher has this sign, but he (painted over? scratched off? I don’t know) the word animals and wrote teacher in sharpie. Best. Teacher. Ever.

That’s so cool!!! My family has that sign, we bought it at the San Diego Zoo in the early 1990′s. We ahve another one that is very similar, but it starts with all P’s and is directed towards the Pandas.

I love this sign, they started using it in the 70′s. They also sold them in the gift store. I have on hanging in the window of our IT helpdesk. I haven’t seen it at the Zoo since ’99. Too bad, It is a CLASSIC!!

Not only besmirch, but you are also apparantly allowed to befoul the animals, and that’s just wrong.

They also left off “distress” and “harangue.”

This isn’t a real sign. It’s supposed to be a joke, my eEnglish/ Science teacher has the same sign on her door.

They forgot “disturb.”

my parents visited this zoo in the early 80[‘s and had one of the signs on their bedroom door with ‘parents’ taped over ‘animals’

My brother and I had this exact sign hanging on our bedroom door as kids. I can still recite it from memory.

We bought a copy of this sign from the SD Zoo when I was in high school. It’s still hanging on (what used to be) my bedroom door, 20 years later.

I wonder if you can badger a badger. Or if they’ve already been badgerered.

people probably try to think of all the stuff you can do

By: Jami

The sad thing is you just know people have tried to do these various things, then sued when they got hurt saying “There was no sign saying we couldn’t!”

Looks like someone’s trying out their brand new thesaurus.

My sophomore science teacher had this sign hanging in his portable. Several words had been added by students, and ‘animals’ was crossed out and replaced with ‘teachers’.

It doesn’t say you can’t feed them, either….

Well, it says molest, so could be considered that it tells not to screw them.

Should we be worried it says nothing about sex? o_O
