You have no idea... no that's right, you probably do have some idea, how hard it is to get people to understand that at a pet shop.
Most of my animals are just such sweethearts but when there's a sign that says please don't touch the animal it means... please! Don't touch it!
I've had quite a few pierced fingers because... well because the poor children, they're just curious and they go touching it anyway... I almost had to call some lawyers once!
