Back in the olden days, you took your kids to a farm on the weekend to teach them about the animals. Nowadays, the lessons are about big government regulations and excessive litigation. At least that's the lesson I took away from a recent trip to the Massachusetts Audubon Society's Drumlin Farm. The photos below are pretty much self-explanatory.
 "The U.S. Department of Agriculture requires that only the farmer feed us." |
 "Under Massachusetts law, an equine professional is not liable for an injury." |
 "No food allowed on the farmyard as per USDA regulations." |
