Parents should not allow under-fives to touch animals at petting farms, a microbiologist has said amid E.coli fears involving four sites.
Professor Hugh Pennington said they were "most likely to touch the animals" and "the most difficult part of the population to get to wash their hands".
Professor Pennington also called for a review of guidelines on petting farms.

Hugh Pennington likes to keep his name in the papers ~ if he didn't he wouldn't command the high fees he is regularly paid by Lawyers for appearing as an "Expert Witness", nor would the BBC and others run to him for a quote every time, after all they do pay him as well (Standard rate per appearance).

Nothing he has said there was not known to the majority of parents even if they won't admit it ~ but then none of the news reporters have asked them the obvious questions have they? It's been all "I expect you are devastated ~ how is little Jason/Kylee today? No hint of "What were you thinking of you fecking moron?"
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

He 'called for' (tick) a 'review' (tick) of 'guidelines' (tick)

I call for him to feck off
