Handwashing in Petting Zoos Needs
Enforcement
“Marler
Clark, the
Seattle law firm representing several victims a
Florida E. coli outbreak, is calling on
legislators nation-wide to put into law requirements for the
protection of petting zoo visitors. Proposed requirements
include increasing signage and warnings about health risks
associated with human-animal contact, providing adequate
handwashing facilities at strategic locations throughout
petting zoos, and designing petting zoos with the intent of
reducing the risks of human contact with animal
feces.”
The above quote
may shock some that petting zoos attended by children across the
country can be dangerous! Why so? Consider the germs that the
children take home with them on their hands! Ecoli contamination on the children’s
hands is one of the major concerns.
What can be done
about this problem?
One thing that the law firm suggest doing is posting warning signs that
remind parents of the potential problem. Once parents know of the problem,
they are more likely to have their children wash their hands after
a visit to the petting zoo.
Most of the existing laws involving petting zoos involve the humane
treatment of animals. The Marler
Clark law firm would like to see new laws that require
more handwashing stations at petting zoos along
with increased signage.

The state of Pennsylvania has
laws regarding petting zoos that other states might
consider according to the Center of Disease
Control. The two
sections below from the Pennsylvania law show how a simple
beginning to the solution.
1) An operator
shall promote public awareness of the risk of
contracting a zoonotic disease at the animal exhibition and of the
measures necessary to minimize the risk of contraction by posting
appropriate notices at the animal exhibition.
(2) An adequate hand-cleansing facility for adults and children
shall be conveniently located on the animal exhibition
grounds. The operator shall post appropriate notices which
designate the location of the hand-cleansing facility . . .
and encourage the cleansing of hands after touching
animals, using the restroom, and before eating.
Handwashing and Petting Zoo Dangers Remain in the News
It is generally believed that little is
being done across the country in regards to the dangers of
petting zoos and the spread of dangerous pathogens to the
children that visit them. Unfortunately, this is a real
problem that is not going away anytime soon according to the Marler
Clark law firm.
It appears that the simple act
of handwashing would reduce the threat of what could be
life threatening disease germs. Handwashing works in the prevention and
spread of disease germs!
