From Times Wire Reports
A Busch Gardens theme park in Williamsburg is asking tourists who recently visited European or South American countries affected by foot-and-mouth disease not to visit the park’s petting zoo.
“Guests who are visiting the petting zoo most likely are animal lovers, and we hope they will embrace this policy,” park spokeswoman Cindy Sarko said.
Busch Gardens introduced a similar policy this week at its popular safari-themed park in Tampa, Fla.
