Or else
The only question we asked ourselves while looking at this was ‘or else what?’. Really, what would happen if this gate wasn’t closed, would something break free and run off the property, attacking innocent people? We doubt it, perhaps this is just another joke made by the owners, who thought it would be amusing.
It can get lonely out there on the farm, so humor like this can be found from time to time. Expect to see more stranger things the deeper into the woods you go, solitude can give a person an odd sense of humor. Not like we are speaking from experience or anything though.
