Pictograms are confusing

We recently went for a walk in a nature preserve near our house. Peppered throughout the park are signs like the one you see here, with relevant information on the local flora and fauna. Each sign also includes this series of pictograms, which Miles decided to decipher for me (from right to left, nb) while we were waiting for Lewis, Zella and Arno to catch up:

“Kijk, mama: we maggen de vogels niet aankomen,
we maggen geen bloemetjes plukken,
de mama’s en de papa’s moeten bij de kindjes blijven,
we maggen de paarden niet knijpen…”

(“Look, mama. We’re not allowed to touch the birds,
we’re not allowed to pick the flowers,
mamas and papas have to walk together with the kids,
we’re not allowed to pinch the horses…”)

at which point I burst out into laughter. He got all huffy until I explained to him that he was more clever than the person who had designed the pictogram and that it indeed was a picture telling people not to pinch horses, even though the text underneath reads, “Do Not Feed the Animals”

And then he still told me No Dogs, just to make sure I got it.
