Many people say it’s bad to interfere with nature whether helping animals in distress or feeding them because they will end up depending on humans. If we share the space and humans will be around animals, why is it seen as bad? Over time would it be possible to more than coexist with animals?
In: Biology
In general it makes animals more willing to approach humans. If a human fed them once before, they will think another human might do it again, and try to get food from humans.
Now you have animals that aren’t afraid of humans, possibly willing to go into a human’s home or other invasions of personal space… and these approaches won’t always be seen as friendly by the human. Now you have an “animal attack” situation even if it’s the human that startled the animal and said animal reacted in self defense. Pretty much any animal is willing to bite, scratch, or otherwise attack something threatening. Animal Control get involved, said animal is likely to be killed as a safety precaution for the public.
Co-existing is one thing, but we don’t want them getting too friendly.
