Kanji Reading Practice #42 - Park Signs 動物愛護法

 Here is a new sign that I saw a few weeks ago in a park.

This one is informing you that doing a certain thing here, well anywhere in Japan, is a criminal act. It is also not a very humane thing to do. The second half of the sign though, is just a suggestion. I'll have to do some research and see if doing that thing really has a negative effect.
