61 people in the US die of E. Coli infections each year.

Many parents crossed out going to the petting zoo after the 2004 E-Coli outbreak at the State Fair.

New state rules take affect later this year and some local petting zoo's are getting a jump start on it.

A petting zoo that violates the new rules can lose its license and be forced to pay a $5000 fine.
