You probably shouldn't, but you definitely can. Law enforcement is pretty sparse. As long as you don't bring witnesses or record your crime, you can pet penguins at will. Again, you shouldn't, because it's not good for the penguins.
Hopefully the Venn diagram of people who want to pet penguins and people who care that it hurts the penguins is a circle.
I hope so, too, and there's a good chance of it. It's not very common to accidentally wander into Antarctica. I believe it's population has the highest percentage of PhDs of any continent, most of them in science. While I realize that doesn't guarantee beneficence, I feel like it goes a long way.
Add a circle for people who cant (or wont) atop that too, just to be sure.
Don't tell the wealthy.
Oh, for sure. Do tell the wealthy they can pet the emperor penguins as long as they are completely alone with them.
