Petting zoos at a mall or a school without proper handwashing facilities is a bad idea.

Even with proper facilities, it’s a bad idea.

An alert reader sent this in from the Greenslopes mall, a few km from our house in Brisbane.

There is hand sanitizer in the upper right, but no handwashing facilities.

And no idea if anyone is using the sanitizer.
