They forgot “plague”!
Umm.. This is a common sign in USA, only it usually ends in “our employees” rather than “the animal”…
I guess I can still aggravate it.
Someone got a copy of Loget’s Thesaulus!
But wait… I thought the animal liked to be ruffled…
But I can still feed them… right? RIGHT?
Let us do it for you.
ok, ill just provoke and bedevil the animal.
so when can we go huntin dad
Alright at least I can still throw stones
can i fart near the animal?
damn….I wanted to tantalise it with my black frying with breeze ball leftovers….
Well lets go to the next zoo. maybe we can tantilise some kangaroos…
Get your synonyms here.
Well after all, it IS the last Theosaurus in captivity….
Why is no one making a big deal out of the fact that they had to ASK people not to molest the animals?!
Don’t worry, it’s a snake park…
So you humans, play amongst yourselves
My aim would be to tantalize and molest, obviously, so I guess I’m out of luck
No, you’ve all missed the point. The first ones in the list are what you can’t do to Harry. You can do them to the animal.
Can I annoy, torment, pester, molest and worry Badger Stephen? How about Badger Henry?
How about fold, spindle, or mutilate? Can I do that?
I can still feed it thn?
Damnit, But I only go to the zoo to Badger Harry the animals!
i think they left out aggravate
If I were close enough to the animal to molest it, I doubt the rest of these transitive verbs would matter.
Umm, can we eat it?
(Well, humour apart, each word in the local language, seperated by the comma, IS a synonym to each English verb mentioned above! Can’t say which one is a translation.)
how about insult?
But we can POKE the animal, right?
Lets Badger Harry the animal
Please do not buy it use it break it fix it crash it change it melt upgrade it
Oh, the plant is so gonna get it now!
Beating animals is OK there…
That’s a lot of ways to describe it…
By any chance, is the animal a swan?
Objection!
That animal must be prosecuted I have decisive evidence!
Dang, they look so cute in ruffles
You can still abuse them though.
It might bite, claw, tear, shred, mutilate, castrate, eviscerate, dislocate, disarm, disleg, debone, disembowel, maim, pound, pummel and bash on your tiny widdle head!
I was talking about the sign of course.
Tittilation anyone?????
and whats to say that said animal will not end up on the menu anyway???
yeah, Who is BADGER HARRY?
Can I harass, molest, annoy, nettle, tantalize Mr.Badger Harry, but
da animals can be?
Well, at least I can still pull out my AK47 and shoot it.
what abuot tempt?
Dammit, I thought I could get away with molestation.
PRETTY SNEAKY SIS.
Can we melt it? How about unnerve them.
Note that it is one animal. Singular.
Well…. we can still do all that to the employees there!!
Just plug and play…
Looks like we can still mate with the animal, score!
True story, they actually have these signs in San Diego…
Dunno what that says about India.
Dunno what that says about San Diego…
At least you’re still allowed to pat their animals
ok..can i maybe just pleat the animal???..or put a bit of ball fringe on it?
well lets just take all the fun out of living shall we?
no malesting animals? aaaaaaaaaaawwwww poor micheal jackson
This begs the question – who is Harry, and is he molested so much that there needs to be a sign to raise awareness?
I’m under the impression that maybe I should just beat Badger Harry with a stick.
No molesting? awwww…
It’s amazing the discrimination against animal molesters these days.
Ah, I guess this animal has feeling like us doesn’t it?
BUT HEY! We can feed these ones!
This board betrays the perverted desires of the authors unhealthy love for animals!
What must be clarified is that this sign is a two-parter. The first part pleads you to not annoy, torment, pester, molest, worry, or badger Harry. It then instructs us to, as an alternative, go ahead and harass, hackle, persecute, irk, rag, vex, bother, tease, nettle, tantalise or ruffle the animal. So it’s okay guys, we’re just not supposed to leave Harry alone, we can do whatever we want to the animal, which is fair game.
But can i eat the animals?
is Barney here?
If you do however end up nettling the animal .. make sure you dock leaf it afterwards
Can’t we just eradicate them?
like i would want to molest an animal…………actually i would =D
oh good, i can still lather, rinse, and repeat
Wow, I didn’t even think of half of all these. Thanks for the protip 8D
Well what do you expect us to do? Look at them?
Actually the translation is perfect. It’s the same as the Marathi sign below. The words are repeated to give more emphasis and to make it appear as a stronger warning.
Damn, my evil plans to ruffle the animals have been foiled!
you have reached maximum time for this message BEEP
Is gorging on the animal frowned upon too?
I guess I can pet, poke, and possibly feed the animal then.
Well..can we LOOK at it??
They forgot rape
A sign to claim your man to yourself.
And I suppose said animal will give a detailed report if I do? What if I gently kid it, but it’s in a foul mood and claims I “teased”? Whose word wins in a court of law?
i guess i’ll just have to settle for assault
just sit quitly and be bored as hell
you can still bribe them
However, okay to feed THIS animal with your private. Just not the fishes.
But they didn’t ask me not to piss them off!
The animal behind the fence is a chicken. They’re afraid it will become rude or unreasonable, in which case, in accordance with a business deal between the zoo and a certain Chinese restaurant, they lose the chicken.
funny how they treat animals better than people in india isnt it
How bout agitate? can I still do that?
Don’t worry officer, all I did was insult, bewitch, poach, belittle, coax, feed, annihilate, defenestrate, prognosticate, trick, flick, kick and lick the animal. But I will openly admit that I badgered Harry, however.
Is that Arabic text below?
why can’t i molest them???
dang i really wanted to molest that billy goat over there
Man, I was looking forward to persecuting that penguin…
@Sandor: Of course not. It’s Devanagari script (I guess). It’s in INDIA anyway.
