Feeding times and the zoo kitchen, sentence 3

That is why the sign says «please do not throw food to the animals»: every meal is measured, and a crisp from each of a thousand visitors adds up to a sick, fat animal.

Who acts: That, sign, crisp · What happens: be, say, not throw, measure, add up · To what, where: food, animals, meal · Speech: someone speaks here
