Inviting predators to live closer to humans is like inviting a known kleptomaniac to a party and being surprised when everyone's missing something. Do you get mad at the thief or get mad at yourself for hanging out with a known thief?
Unfortunately we live in a world where even connecting two dots together with a straight line is too difficult for many people. They are not thinking about the consequences of their actions. It's literally like a child... "Oh animal, I give food maybe they will be my friend like in the jungle book! wee!" . This type of understanding of consequences requires basic competency in "if, then statements." Which requires the ability to perform basic logic. Which clearly many people are unable to do.
@@elysainempire4628not every animal should be domesticated though. Plus, dogs are more manageable and even then, you see cases of aggressive dogs biting people or killing other animals. If a “domesticated” dog is already too much for people, then can you say you feel safe if somebody brings a black bear to a park as a “pet”.
@@crappyPatty235 No the bunnies will just be hit by cars and die. Do all simple things need to be explained to you in detail? The only one coming of as ignorant here is you.
My brother just told me the other day about that one man who lived alongside bears. Key word lived. He was happily befriending them and probably feeding them too, until one day a hungry bear he thought of as one of his best buddies came close and ate him to prepare for the next winter.
The Grizzly man? That guy is famous. He recorded everything including his last moments and that is lost footage a lot of people want to get their hands on. There are a lot of documentaries about him. He insisted the grizzlies loved him.
One time fishing in the Okefenokee, I was constantly followed by a very large bull 'gator. I was not alone but every time I spoke he would move toward me so I had to move away. I can only surmise that someone with a voice similar to mine was feeding it regularly. I was constrained to report the behavior to the local game warden and they were forced to hunt it down. It is pure ignorance to feed wild animals, you are teaching them to come to humans and associate them with food. "Feeding animals" also includes dumping your food scraps in the lake or swamp or in the woods. Be conscious of what your actions could lead to. Know outdoor etiquette. Be smart and stay safe.
@@ashtoningram45 Dont feed wild birds either. Birds move a lot of seeds and if the wild birds only hang around in the park then this wont happen. An example is from my grandmas house who lives on a lake. There are a lot of Canadian geese there, and they were being fed by people on the lake, so they stayed there because they could get food and did not migrate for the winter at all. They end up coming onto peoples lawns to try to get food and poop on the lawns pretty much destroying them.
@@zacharykai6317 the only creature I feed are my foxes that live on My property besides my cats, I just curious why it a bad idea to feed birds, because I seen people do in in parks all the time, for years growing up as a kid
@ashtoningram45 they get bound to that place. They don't do whatever they're supposed to do, like searching for food and spreading seeds. They just become an attraction.

People love to complain about how f'd up society is. Yet they seem unwilling to do anything to prevent themselves from being reliant on that f'd up society. "We" don't need help. "We" need to learn to help ourselves. And we live in the best time throughout all of human history for learning how to do this.

@@anthonyfaiell3263 I definitely agree we should grow and eat our own food but they should definitely stop making all this crappy food that lowers our life span and kills us quicker
Yet no man is an island. If you're really gonna be self-sufficient, will you make you own internet tower? Create your own computer? Find your own ores, process them, then manufacture the devices and tools you use on a daily basis? Everyone is dependent on society to some degree. Self-sufficiency has limits, and that's not bad. People are more effective as a group, and that includes as a group that seek change for the better via action, including demanding such change from others.

I think it's perfectly fine to feed birds in your garden, or swans and ducks in rivers or lakes. As long as you feed them the appropriate foods. It is actually super beneficial to the birds during spring when they're all nesting. I am from the UK though, so the rules are a little different here. No bears crocks or wolves 🤷
ducks cant break down bread, bread is filled with fibers, fibers make you feel full when you aren't, causing them to not feed topping off the fact that they hardly get any nutrients at all from the food we eat
In the states this is frowned upon. The reason being is we have a big problem with people dumping domestic ducks they no longer want at the parks. Keeping them alive puts significant stress on the native species. Not only that, there tend to be more males than females and they will breed the females to death. It has become such a problem from irresponsible parents buying their kids ducklings for Easter than dumping them that people are actually encouraged to eliminate or take the domestic ones home. Still, it doesn't stop people from being irresponsible, though. I used to work for the park service and it was a hoot ( sarcasm) every year when parents dump the geese and bunnies off at the park. For staff to get screamed at by other people for not protecting them when they would get picked off by coyotes and foxes. Still don't see anyone address the sale of them to non-farmers, though.
As native american and lover of untrouched nature, I'm greatful for this video, you've earned my family and I greatest repects for your video contribution and explantion to this problem as I'm tried of explain it.
Alligators store their food under water for weeks at a time to allow it to rot before eating it. Maybe we should try that? If it's fine for them, it should be fine for us too right? Because all living species on earth have exactly the same digestive systems right? Oh and definitely watch out for chocolate and onions. I heard that can kill dogs, so it probably kills humans too right? . Logic is hard.
@@dalton2845 yet it's still not always healthy for us to eat it. Junk food is still junk at the end of the day, and while we may tolerate and even enjoy ingesting it, that doesn't mean you won't pay for every meal you've had later on in your life.
Good comment. People can see that the animals are "dangerious" but they don't know that the hunters *might* not be good people? It's one thing to hunt a wild animal for being dangerous to people. It's a crime when it's turned into a reason to bypass hunting laws. We can't HUNT mountain lions... oh but the lion stole some food from a guy's backpack? "WE'RE EATING LION TONIGHT BOYS!" It's hilariously evil.
First place i ever saw an obese bear was BEAR COUNTY park or whatever in South Dakota. The owners of the place were feeding them wonder bread to the point their stomachs are dragging on the ground. The whole place is a drive-through park that lets tourists feed them anything.... the place is disgusting. Sad to see how little humans know.
In Japan, these two influencers were purposefully camping out in a forest that had warning signs of bear sightings (which they claimed they didn’t see) because they wanted to film a bear on camera. They pretended to be surprised when the bear stumbled onto their camp (because it smelled their food) filmed themselves running away being scared of the bear. The bear ate their food and over the next few days, that bear showed up around human settlements looking for more food. The town had to euthanize the bear because of that. Worse of all, that bear had cubs too :( even though those two influencers were called by the town officials and other content creators, they still kept the video up and pretended that nothing happened.
a basic summary is that human food can cause dangerous animals to come looking for humans and they could get mad if they aren't given food. weight gain entering populated areas less self sufficiency on their own fighting other animals for food negative changes in gut biome the lack of hunting and gathering makes it so the offspring aren't taught how to hunt/gather lack of necessary nutrients feeding a wild animal and then just leaving it is not how we domesticated dogs
I was fishing on a bayou here in Louisiana. I watched a woman pull in to a parking lot across the bayou from were i was. Sh pulled a trash bag out of the truck of her car and started dragging it to the water. I literally stopped fishing to see a couple of things. 1. I wanted to make sure it wasnt a human body. 2. To see if she was feeding the gator that had been seen. A couple of dogs have come up missing in the last month. Sure enough, i see her start calling something. So i took my phone and started recording. I took photos of her plate and her. And just like i thought, she was calling a gator. She starts pulling what looks like a deer skeleton out and throwing it to the gator. I screamed across the bayou, hey woman, you cant do that, its illegal. The woman told me to worry about myself and get out of her business. I said ok, so i called the cops. She left before the cops got there and they were happy to see all the evidence i had. They made me E-Mail the video. 3 days later it was on the news. What happened to the woman? Oh she got probation and that was it!!! What happened to the gator. Oh, they made her call it to the bank. When the gator got to the bank, a gun shot was heard. No more gator in that bayou. There were some upset people and they talked about the gator never bothered anyone. Well it only takes 1 time and someone loses a child. I brought my 3 year old son with me to that spot. So yeah, that is hitting very very close to home. Personally i think that woman should have spent a minimum of 6 months in jail for it. Flordia doesnt play that crap. Anyway tbis video is spot on. Thanks for posting it.
@@taylormcveay753Do you realize what happens when wild animals associate humans with food? They can become aggressive when they don't get the food they're expecting. It's annoying when a squirrel or seagull does it, now imagine a gator with its massive bite force and a tail that can break your legs if it smacks you getting pissy at you because you didn't bring it a snack 💀
Had a young fox roaming the area. It was quite tame, curious, sometimes sat like a dog watching people. I already had heard, that this may cause problems and wanted to scare it away in order to save it. I didn't. About a week later I heard from a neighbour about its demise. It had been comfortable with humans being close, had been fed, ate leftovers from the local fast food restaurant. Until someone seemingly had enough of it and poisoned the poor thing. I feel guilty even today, maybe 6 or 7 years later. Had I thrown a fire cracker at it, it might have lived. There sure are foxes hiding somewhere, eating garbage. Difference is that they hide.
dont do the what ifs man for all you know it could of died another way alot sooner had it not been fed by humans or you throwing said fire cracker could of injured it.
I can relate to not being able to save creature, we rescued a baby bird who was on road we put it outside got busy, then there arrived a crow i was the once most close to it, i could have made crow flee but i was little and shunned, afterwards crow managed to snatch little baby took it around neighborhood's tree devour it completely when i reached there all i had was looking up in sky for the poor bird my mistake my incompetence 😢
It's not your fault & whoever poisoned that poor creature is evil. Foxes behave more like cats than dogs, but aren't as threatening as coyotes or wolves that are larger & move on groups. Foxes usually are shy towards humans & the only threat they present is rabies, but dogs or any other mammal can carry it. So it's not fair. It takes more effort to relocate the animals than you know... delete them. It's so bad.
@@lagopusvulpuz1571 if they relocated the Fox It would have came back or dying, still the person who poison It Is evil since he should have left the authorities to deal with the fox
This was more comprehensive in information than most. I understood most of it already, but got some more info here. People need to be made aware of deer feeder problems. That was a new one to me, but it makes absolute perfect sense in all aspects from disease spread to extra fighting to overeating of corn. My grandpa had a dairy cow lost to her forcing her way into getting to the feed. Sad as hell to lose her like that. She did it while they were away for just a few hours. Polar bears are not afraid of humans. We are on the menu. The only wild animal I fed was a racoon live trapped at my parent's house for relocation. I gave it some meat and some water because it was having to be in the trap for a bit. It really did want and need the water it drank, and it growled the entire time. It was a really pissed off raccoon. It ran away fast when released. Trapping it made it fear humans, and they thrive on people food and want to make use of people dwelling areas, just like opossums. He had to go. I see people on videos in neighborhoods drawing up and feeding a whole bunch of mean raccoons off of their back porches. What are they thinking? I don't see anything wrong with providing water sources for animals in drought. There were some women who were fined for doing that, but when we cause the shortage and block their access to water in so many ways, and water is needed faster than food, I think a quiet little pool provided here and there is decent. It's not the same as feeding. They know water dries up, comes and goes, and they don't think we provide it. Herds of deer migrating from the wooded suburbs across the freeways in search of a water source could be dangerous for us as well as them.
Introverts like us that spend everyday at home, are watching this video. People that need to watch this video are out there doing all sort of activities every day and will never understand why they need to stop feeding wild animals.
Some people are just awful. I live in Florida, so we have A LOT of tourists visiting the beaches. So many of them will feed the seagulls and then get mad when you tell them not to. They're here temporarily, we have to deal with seagulls expecting humans to have food permanently. People won't change sadly.
yup... the root of it all..... solve that puzzle and you might change the world. I'm certain it all boils down to a desire for attention because we didn't get enough at home growing up.
Selfishness. Their desires are more important. My favorite place to visit is Assateague Island National Seashore, it is covered with wild horses on that live on the beach. And despite massive neon signs telling people not to feed them, they still do. They break into cars and campsites to get the people's food. Someone also usually gets killed from messing with them. I mean, these are full sized, wild, and dangerous horses. My favorite moment was a father who was holding up his 2 year old daughter to feed a stallion carrots, which means they brought the food with them and ignored 100 messages. And he was holding this toddler to the face of this stallion while standing in front of a billboard sized sign that was caution orange to stay away from the horses because they are wild and will delete you. So they aren't just dumb with themselves or putting the animal in danger. They are reckless and selfish with other people's lives too.
They need severe laws for anyone caught feeding wildlife and setting up the feeders. It has to be severe enough they would never consider it. I think saving animals is more important then tourists.
For those who feed ducks Use PLAIN, ORIGINAL cheerios Not bread. Cheerios float. Low sugar. No leavening. Lower glycemic impact. Fiber. Vitamins. Long shelf life. This is my opinion. I have experience in bird rehab.
Over a long course of time feeding wolves, we eventually domesticated them into dogs. They were probably the first animal we domesticated and could be attributed our success. Although eating processed food is probably bad for any animal, even humans.
@@mel2000no, dogs are only about 100,000 years old and are directly desended from grey wolves . Grey wolf stocks evolved into dogs through selective breeding
@@taylormcveay753 : The numerous documents I've read on dog evolution don't agree with your assertion at all. There are even cave drawings of domesticated dogs that go back further than 10,000 years.
There’s a pretty big difference. All of our food is now unnatural to some degree, from selective breeding to artificial chemicals. Maybe the not being afraid of humans would turn out ok, but giving them our food is not
As a former employee of a company in Grand canyon... The squirrel is indeed considered the deadliest/most dangerous animal there. Bites are frequent, rabies is a thing... As are other diseases like the literal plague. Fear the friendly tree rat! (Not actually a tree rat, separate species, but the nickname fits...)
Godbless the title of thid video. Sacrificing yourself for the greater good. Thi is important. Dont try to tame wild animals, they deserve live a peaceful and unbothered life
There’s some idiot in town that has a “slow down, community pet deer in area” and I’ve twice taped over it “the deer are WILD, not a community pet. More people get killed in a year by deer than by bears and sharks combined”
If you want to get up close and personal with wild animals go to a zoo or animal sanctuary that has an ambassador animal program and pay to get to interact and learn about them in a safe, controlled environment. If you tell them that you specifically want to interact with an animal that you can feed, they might bring out an animal that you can pet, hold and feed. If you want to feed wildlife on your own, do some research. Set up a hummingbird feeder, A squirrel feeder and a Bird feeder. Build some bird houses or don’t, chances are if you keep that bird feeder stocked at all times, the birds will start building their own nests nearby because they’ll learn you are a reliable source of food. -I don’t recommend scattering seed on the ground, as the birds always leave some and this inevitably attracts rodents and pest insects which can have an impact on you and your neighbors. Also, I would not advise feeding predators like raccoons or opossums. As cute as it is when we see videos of families showing up to a persons door for their meal, these hand outs create a swell in the population of predators in the neighborhood which have a direct impact on the prey species in the area. By feeding birds and other prey animals you are already helping out these predators by helping to keep the population of their food species more stable and plentiful. One way you can indirectly feed them though is if you happen to have a population of stray cats (or if your neighbors like to let their cats roam outdoors) you can leave cheap cat food in a bowl and fresh water outside your door or on your property somewhere to encourage the cats to eat the kibble and to NOT eat the local wildlife. Your local predators such as raccoons and opossums if your in the US will occasionally steal a bite from the kibble too without relying on it completely. I do this for the cats in my neighborhood and I see raccoons on my camera pretty rarely, and opossums only once or twice but they know it’s there if ever times are rough.
I'm for helping hurt animal...when help is needed... feeding healthy wild animal is no no. as you explain, don't mess with nature when don't need your assistance.
I'd be too scared to feed wild animals but that's a good thing I've now learned, I had no clue that they were getting put down because people kept feeding them
this needs way more views, i hope this information is spread much more because i bet most people would see no problem giving a wild animal food if u asked them about it
Earned yourself a sub, very informative. I knew that feeding wild life could cause some issues, Ibut I didn’t know that feeding wild animals had this big of an impact on them and their offspring.
Human food isn't just bad for animals, it's also bad for humans. America has a huge health problem due to low quality processed foods, Obesity. The reason we have domesticated dogs is that humans fed wolves and these wild wolves learned to live with people. Without feeding wild animals we would not have domesticated animals.
It's simple, people get used to wrong meals and through centuries, our food is seasoned in many ways, loosing more positive features of ingredients for taste. And we not only got used to that, we don't really have that much of the energy loss on physical level. Yeah, we can be tired, but in wilds, you have no time to rest or you'll be someone else lunch, or possibly lose long awaited prey.
@@DONTCHECKITI think they mean like, the excessive junk food that so many of us eat. When we eat all of those hot dogs, burgers, fries and other things it’s really unhealthy. I doubt it would kill you, but overtime if you eat enough it can probably deteriorate your health to a decently large amount.
Thank you for calling it out. I live in the mountains in a tourist trap community where people are constantly trying to feed the deer and elk. They have become dependent on dumpster digging and the people with carrots and hay. They become docile, but simultaneously aggressive, particularly about food. I've heard of three accounts of people being attacked by elk while trying to feed them in my area. One was a little kid who got kicked in the head, and another was a local lady who died from her injuries. I've personally been kicked by a deer over a plate of vegetables many years ago. Last time I give a wild animal food from my hands, but more importantly, filling their guts with anything other than what they graze is a losing scenario for the deer and the environment that relies on their persistent upkeep of undergrowth. Forest fires are made a bigger issue when grazers don't keep the grass and brush down.
Literally just started this episode, and I'll of course edit my comment if I feel I need to buy the end, but this topic is close to my heart. I've been homeless since about 2011, and my chosen habitat is alone in uninhabited woodland. I rescue and rehabilitate roosters, which means that the people who get to know me, or stumble across by campsite suddenly associate me with rescuing ALL types of birds, and inevitably baby songbirds are brought to me every year, and every year I either do what I can if the bird is uninjured and old enough to fledge within about a week (not comfortable keeping wildlife any longer), or I contact my local raptor rescue (Raindance Raptors in Olympia, WA) to ask for advice, often giving birds over to them if they have the space to take them. That being said, I'm often advised to hold onto the Little Ones, but seldom to the point of release as being birds, there's often something underlying that takes them, or the raptor lady is able to make some space for my unexpected freeloaders and take over rehabilitation from there. I also have a wonderful vet with a speciality and vested interest in avian medicine that I can reach out to for advice. Birds are pretty much the only wild animal I make an exception to for feeding. Not only do the wild birds help keep my birds safe by alerting to potential predators and unwanted visitors, but many well respected bird authorities such as the Audubon society, Cornell, etc. advise to feed wild birds if possible. Of course, if you're feeding wild birds, you'll want your feeders away from your home, windows made to be "birdy safe", and ONLY feed them quality food (generic "birdseed" is awful and often most of the weight you pay for is millet, which is usually ignored and discarded by the birds, creating a mess below feeders and attracting mice and rats, but also the nutritional value is akin to us feasting on potato chips). That being said, never feed wild animals bread. Bread fed to waterfowl can cause "angel wing", where the last joint of the wing (essentially wrist to fingertips) bends outward, the bird can no longer fly, and the condition is permanent with no treatment. Uneaten bread allowed to decompose into an environment is often responsible for toxic algae blooms and other bacteria and molds that can make a habitat unliveable. Likewise, do not feed corn in an environment where it can get wet, as when it decomposes, it creates a toxin that can kill birds, and it can create enough of this toxin to kill a bird overnight if it gets wet, freezes, then thaws. Be mindful of the birds in your area and what they'd eat naturally, and try not to fill their diets with too many "exotic" treats, as their systems aren't designed for them and can actually waste energy trying to break down and digest something that its body isn't made for. In my case, I put up suet and toss dried coconut, rolled oats, cracked corn, and a special "no mess" fruit and nut mix from Wild Birds Unlimited (WBU) as "scratch" for my boys, which wild birds often indulge in and I make no effort to drive them away, but my scratch is only tossed if they don't crow in the morning (reward for staying calm and patient until I let them out), and only tossed in areas I know will stay dry, and get picked clean fairly quickly. Beyond that, if I'm able, I'll put out a feeder specifically for the wild birds, filled only with no mess mixes from WBU far enough away from my campsite that I can see the birds that visit, but they still have their own space. I also use live traps to catch and release squirrels, rats, opossums, and raccoons as these are all "pest" animals that are abundant and WILL bring harm to my chickens if left alone. I take them to a wildlife preserve that's decently far away from where I live, and gives them the choice to either live in unadulterated woodland interspersed with swamp and a stream, or the neigbourhood that butts up against the preserve if the animals would prefer to stay near human settlements. I do not go out of my way to feed or handle wild animals. I do not put effort into training them. I merely live amongst them as a neighbour and passive steward.
I do have a couple bird feeders in winter. I only use black sunflower seed and safflower. I never put them close to my house and I make efforts to keep them out of range of deer and others. I also am selective on when to feed. I only do it in the winter for the most part and only when I know it will be really cold. I switch to meal worms in the spring, and by summer I don't feed. I also have a lot of native plants in my yard and that in itself is a lot of shelter and food. I never try and train any animal, as I enjoy just watching them. My only really bad habit is bird houses and I do it because they help keep my garden pest free. So in a way they pay rent. I even deep clean everything after they are gone. I had/have neighbors who insist on feeding the squirrels and deer. When the one couple left the squirrel over population became even more obvious. I started trapping and releasing them on some land I have over 20 miles away. I trapped over 7 of them, and one must have been the dominant male as when I got home there was a gathering of the squirrels to establish the new ranks. Seeing over 2 dozen grey squirrels near your yard fighting is not fun. The other neighbor has stopped putting out corn after we told them we didn't like mowing rows of corn in our yards, its just whole peanuts now.... I try not to do too much, and it is hard.
@@Kriskat6 Ah man, I've lived next to squirrel feeders, and it was not a pleasant confrontation when I brought a small, profusely bleeding rooster (I'd done what I could before confronting, of course, but there's only do much that can be done for facial wounds) to them to show the effects of feeding squirrels, and how those squirrels then attack others when those folks don't give in to their demands for food. My neigbourhood was not sympathetic, as they believed that since the squirrels were here before us, they had the right to attack whoever they wanted for any reason. Thankfully, I no longer live there.
@@OlyChickenGuy Since the wild life in the area has lost a lot of fear as the result of feeding and moved closer, so do the predators. Had a woman get trapped on a picnic table in the down town park by a coyote. I have had to deal with mean squirrels, hence why they go out to my rural property. They have to fend for themselves out there. I even trap the cats that people let out as I am tired of their bad behaviors in my yard. They go to the humane society.
@@Kriskat6 Where I'm currently at, I'm right on the edge of wilderness and commercial centre, so just a few blocks one way there's a mall, and a few blocks the other is just rolling hills owned by lumber companies and highway. I have coyotes roam through quite frequently, but thankfully never had an issue, and I occasionally hear "screaming" cougars. I'm honestly surprised there's not more unfortunate encounters with the wildlife around here, but that will undoubtedly change as the cities continue to expand. Ah, yes, the cat owners who think it's a-okay to allow their tiny murder machines to roam freely. Here in Washington, though it's seldom enforced, there's actually leash laws that TECHNICALLY make it illegal to own a "free roaming" cat, and I honestly don't see why that's a bad idea. I'm not a cat-HATER, per se - I do become friendly with cats that I encounter frequently, such as when they belong to friends - but I also feel that with the way our modern world is, we really don't have an excuse to continue breeding them, especially when so many modern cat owners are so blatantly irresponsible. I've caught and turned in a few cats to my local shelter, but only when they've become chronic issues, and it's clear that their owner isn't taking care of them.
My parents always tell me not to feed wild animals but I did not think that it was that terrifying of a consequence and all of that could happen from stupid humans treating wild animals the same way how they’ll treat that pets.
Commenting to push the algorithm and a side note: Even if you don’t have food and an animal is begging you for food, you will give it food one way or another either it eats you or it ransacks you
It must only be big animals that are dangerous, In the grand canyon despite MANY SIGNS people still feed the squirrels. These squirrels will walk right up to you.
Honestly i never expected WATOP to curse in his title, just like Vsuace not deleting his "Mario farts" video. But I don't blame them for being mad about something like this, in fact I respect it!
Can't pet the critters, cant feed them, cant abduct them and bring them home... If we cant interact with wild animals, can we at least get working on removing the part of the brain that makes us find them so cute? I cant live like this!
It's absolutely awful that there are laws preventing us from helping wild animals and that they get killed when humans help them when hundreds of years ago humans and animals lived side by side. If these laws were in effect back then, we'd never have dogs or cats. Can't help but feel sorry that the polar bears are starving and we can't throw them some scraps when they're just going to invade a human town anyway at some point. Better scraps then a human, honestly. At this point, its like people want animals to go extinct. It's always humans fault when a species goes extinct and when they do go to help them, it's too late. It's sad for us animal lovers.
I agree with 75% of this video. I don’t know of anyone in their right mind actively feeding coyotes. There’s a reason why people are told to dispatch coyotes on sight and are able to be hunted year round. Nuisances, overpopulated, and greatly affects other populations of wildlife. Deer feeders in or close to woods are no big deal. I would agree to not have deer feeders in a neighborhood or in urban areas, but most of the examples you showed were deer feeders that hunters set up. As a deer hunter myself, most of the fights I’ve heard or seen were away from the deer feeder. Also there’s a technique called “rattling” to call a buck to you. Bucks are attracted to the sound of fighting and if you “rattle” there is a chance of a nice sized buck being curious or wanting to get some sparring in. They especially tussle during or right before rut season due to competition over mating. Fighting is natural with deer and is not caused by a deer feeder drawing them to a specific spot. Polar bears will eat anything that they see move because food is scarce. That’s not a problem with people feeding them. That’s just the way they are. I even believe I have watched the video you used of the human in a glass box and I believe they were trying to prove that polar bears are ruthless and can spot something living/moving from miles away and will go on a mission to investigate. But yes, of course, it is best to not feed them or any other bear if someone actually is doing so. The rest of the video, especially the gator part, I agree with.
I think part of it is because wild animals have digestive systems that can handle various plants and raw meat. Human foods don't require as much breakdown, so when they get used to our food, they slowly lose the ability to process their natural food. The other part is junk food is bad for everyone and much worse for animals since it's such a huge jump from their regular cuisine. It's almost like how we get sick eatting various types of raw meat or plants but wild animals can eat that no problem
@@matpit5136 @nutritionist - Not a protected term. You wouldn't go to a "toothyologst" if your tooth was hurting. You'd go to a dentist. The correct term you are looking for is "dietician". You're welcome.
Your argument presented in this video, has some good points. But you need to look at the bigger picture, we are occupying their ancestral land. Eventually the wild animals will have no choice but get food from humans. Squirrels and raccoons have fingers, and they are smart. By not feeding them we are artificially stopping their co evolution with humans. Hand feeding animals is wrong i agree, but squirrels/raccoons are not just wild animals, they are semi domesticated beasts that live among us and will someday evolve to become semi equals with humans. Another point is, we are wild animals. Our microbiome contains trillions of living creatures, we have control over them. But are absolutely beneficial to our existence. Humans have no right to tell others what to do with our wild micro organisms, let alone wild animals outside co existing with us peacefully.
The squirrels and raccoons are not semi domesticated, They're just smart enough to figure out what to do and what not to do and other stuff, Domestication happens when humans want to make this species beneficial to us, Like dogs helping us emotionally and use to be helpful for hunting and now replaced with tracking down humans, And cows by giving us food, And that ''someday will evolve to be semi equals to us humans'' is not gauranteed, And if you mean microbiome as in biomes like our guts you are right AND wrong, We do have a lot of creatures in our gut, hair, etc, But we do not have control over them all, Microbiomes such as your hair may have lice, Which is not beneficial and is actually bad for us, And humans do have a right to tell what to do with SOME animals, Notice how I said some?, Because the only animals that us humans have no right or barely any right to tell us what to do with our animals are our domesticated animals like dogs, cats, cows, etc, and wild birds, You can feed wild birds, Nothing wrong with it just make sure to feed them high quality seeds and if your not near a city, attach a bird feeder no where near your home. And the first part the ''We're occupying their ancestral land'' is entirely true and I can't say anything about it. And the ''eventually wild animals will have no choice but to get food from humans'' has a high chance to happen.

I agree with most/all the stuff on this list, but I think feeding the wild or city birds on foods that are healthy and good for them and not doing it too often is different as long as you do it in suitable places like your garden or at the river or park, etc.
This is actually a very informative video. I thought people feeding animals was a harmless thing. Now I know it's not good to feed animals at all. Now I feel like I'll have to tell people not to feed any animal to prevent animals dying from it.
There is a woman who takes care of foxes. Her youtube channel is saveafox. She takes care of foxes or other animals. I'm not sure, but she is really nice. Idk if this counts, but some people like vets or people that take care of wildlife still feed them and take care of them and sent them back in the wildlife but i think before that they gave them thier regular foods like dead animals for meat eating animals or trees or fish for other animals too, They put them in thier regular diet before letting them go. They did the same with an octopus and fended them clams and letting the octopus go free into the sea. But i also think that zookeepers, researchers, and rehabilitators can only take care and feed animals in need with their regular diets of whatever they eat, of course. Also, you forgot to mention that some authorities contain animals that have been fed by humans. They take care of the animal and also give it the regular food it needs and send the animal to a different location. That way, it doesn't run into other people begging for human food. This has been happening for a while, so that way, other people won't harm the animal or killing it. I wasn't sure if everyone knew it or not, but i hope this helps just in case.
My father told me a year ago that in the resort we had recently visited (in Hurghada, Egypt), a man was bitten by a reef shark. It was reported that this shark was repeatedly being fed by visitors of the place, which one really shouldn't do. This led to the shark habitually seeking out humans expecting food. The man might have provoked a bite due to a panic response, I don't really know though . To clarify, I forgot whether it was that resort or the bay Sharm El Naga or another place we've visited, but the point is that shark attacks boil down to human error, such as treating those sharks inconsiderately.

Unfortunately we live in a world where even connecting two dots together with a straight line is too difficult for many people. They are not thinking about the consequences of their actions.

My brother just told me the other day about that one man who lived alongside bears. Key word lived. He was happily befriending them and probably feeding them too, until one day a hungry bear he thought of as one of his best buddies came close and ate him to prepare for the next winter.
Possible that he was already dead
The Grizzly man? That guy is famous. He recorded everything including his last moments and that is lost footage a lot of people want to get their hands on. There are a lot of documentaries about him. He insisted the grizzlies loved him.

It is pure ignorance to feed wild animals, you are teaching them to come to humans and associate them with food. "Feeding animals" also includes dumping your food scraps in the lake or swamp or in the woods.

@@ashtoningram45 same issue I’d say. Ducks can go from timid birds to sandwich hunters.
@@ashtoningram45 Dont feed wild birds either. Birds move a lot of seeds and if the wild birds only hang around in the park then this wont happen. An example is from my grandmas house who lives on a lake. There are a lot of Canadian geese there, and they were being fed by people on the lake, so they stayed there because they could get food and did not migrate for the winter at all. They end up coming onto peoples lawns to try to get food and poop on the lawns pretty much destroying them.

I should probably point out that we still have foxes, badgers and deer. These animals get really fat when people feed them.
ducks cant break down bread, bread is filled with fibers, fibers make you feel full when you aren't, causing them to not feed topping off the fact that they hardly get any nutrients at all from the food we eat
@@Mark-yr3cw true, but I usually feed ducks corn, only because it floats on the water.
In the states this is frowned upon. The reason being is we have a big problem with people dumping domestic ducks they no longer want at the parks. Keeping them alive puts significant stress on the native species. Not only that, there tend to be more males than females and they will breed the females to death. It has become such a problem from irresponsible parents buying their kids ducklings for Easter than dumping them that people are actually encouraged to eliminate or take the domestic ones home. Still, it doesn't stop people from being irresponsible, though.
I used to work for the park service and it was a hoot ( sarcasm) every year when parents dump the geese and bunnies off at the park. For staff to get screamed at by other people for not protecting them when they would get picked off by coyotes and foxes. Still don't see anyone address the sale of them to non-farmers, though.

Animals die to the garbage we feed them but remember all this stuff is perfectly fine and healthy for humans...
Alligators store their food under water for weeks at a time to allow it to rot before eating it. Maybe we should try that? If it's fine for them, it should be fine for us too right? Because all living species on earth have exactly the same digestive systems right? Oh and definitely watch out for chocolate and onions.

In Japan, these two influencers were purposefully camping out in a forest that had warning signs of bear sightings (which they claimed they didn’t see) because they wanted to film a bear on camera. They pretended to be surprised when the bear stumbled onto their camp (because it smelled their food) filmed themselves running away being scared of the bear. The bear ate their food and over the next few days, that bear showed up around human settlements looking for more food. The town had to euthanize the bear because of that. Worse of all, that bear had cubs too :( even though those two influencers were called by the town officials and other content creators, they still kept the video up and pretended that nothing happened.
a basic summary is that human food can cause dangerous animals to come looking for humans and they could get mad if they aren't given food.

1. I wanted to make sure it wasnt a human body.
2. To see if she was feeding the gator that had been seen. A couple of dogs have come up missing in the last month.
Sure enough, i see her start calling something. So i took my phone and started recording. I took photos of her plate and her. And just like i thought, she was calling a gator. She starts pulling what looks like a deer skeleton out and throwing it to the gator.
I screamed across the bayou, hey woman, you cant do that, its illegal. The woman told me to worry about myself and get out of her business. I said ok, so i called the cops. She left before the cops got there and they were happy to see all the evidence i had. They made me E-Mail the video.
3 days later it was on the news. What happened to the woman? Oh she got probation and that was it!!! What happened to the gator. Oh, they made her call it to the bank. When the gator got to the bank, a gun shot was heard. No more gator in that bayou. There were some upset people and they talked about the gator never bothered anyone. Well it only takes 1 time and someone loses a child. I brought my 3 year old son with me to that spot. So yeah, that is hitting very very close to home.

Had a young fox roaming the area. It was quite tame, curious, sometimes sat like a dog watching people. I already had heard, that this may cause problems and wanted to scare it away in order to save it. I didn't.
About a week later I heard from a neighbour about its demise. It had been comfortable with humans being close, had been fed, ate leftovers from the local fast food restaurant. Until someone seemingly had enough of it and poisoned the poor thing.
I feel guilty even today, maybe 6 or 7 years later. Had I thrown a fire cracker at it, it might have lived.
There sure are foxes hiding somewhere, eating garbage. Difference is that they hide.
dont do the what ifs man for all you know it could of died another way alot sooner had it not been fed by humans or you throwing said fire cracker could of injured it.
I can relate to not being able to save creature, we rescued a baby bird who was on road we put it outside got busy, then there arrived a crow i was the once most close to it, i could have made crow flee but i was little and shunned, afterwards crow managed to snatch little baby took it around neighborhood's tree devour it completely when i reached there all i had was looking up in sky for the poor bird my mistake my incompetence 😢
It's not your fault & whoever poisoned that poor creature is evil. Foxes behave more like cats than dogs, but aren't as threatening as coyotes or wolves that are larger & move on groups. Foxes usually are shy towards humans & the only threat they present is rabies, but dogs or any other mammal can carry it. So it's not fair.

This was more comprehensive in information than most. I understood most of it already, but got some more info here. People need to be made aware of deer feeder problems. That was a new one to me, but it makes absolute perfect sense in all aspects from disease spread to extra fighting to overeating of corn. My grandpa had a dairy cow lost to her forcing her way into getting to the feed. Sad as hell to lose her like that. She did it while they were away for just a few hours.
Polar bears are not afraid of humans. We are on the menu.
The only wild animal I fed was a racoon live trapped at my parent's house for relocation. I gave it some meat and some water because it was having to be in the trap for a bit.
It really did want and need the water it drank, and it growled the entire time. It was a really pissed off raccoon. It ran away fast when released. Trapping it made it fear humans, and they thrive on people food and want to make use of people dwelling areas, just like opossums. He had to go. I see people on videos in neighborhoods drawing up and feeding a whole bunch of mean raccoons off of their back porches. What are they thinking?
I don't see anything wrong with providing water sources for animals in drought. There were some women who were fined for doing that, but when we cause the shortage and block their access to water in so many ways, and water is needed faster than food, I think a quiet little pool provided here and there is decent. It's not the same as feeding. They know water dries up, comes and goes, and they don't think we provide it. Herds of deer migrating from the wooded suburbs across the freeways in search of a water source could be dangerous for us as well as them.
Introverts like us that spend everyday at home, are watching this video. People that need to watch this video are out there doing all sort of activities every day and will never understand why they need to stop feeding wild animals.
so true !!
Some people are just awful. I live in Florida, so we have A LOT of tourists visiting the beaches. So many of them will feed the seagulls and then get mad when you tell them not to. They're here temporarily, we have to deal with seagulls expecting humans to have food permanently. People won't change sadly.
Me an introvert who goes outdoors: okay.
There has to be a psychology behind people's desire for attention
yup... the root of it all..... solve that puzzle and you might change the world. I'm certain it all boils down to a desire for attention because we didn't get enough at home growing up.
Selfishness. Their desires are more important.
My favorite place to visit is Assateague Island National Seashore, it is covered with wild horses on that live on the beach. And despite massive neon signs telling people not to feed them, they still do. They break into cars and campsites to get the people's food. Someone also usually gets killed from messing with them. I mean, these are full sized, wild, and dangerous horses.
My favorite moment was a father who was holding up his 2 year old daughter to feed a stallion carrots, which means they brought the food with them and ignored 100 messages. And he was holding this toddler to the face of this stallion while standing in front of a billboard sized sign that was caution orange to stay away from the horses because they are wild and will delete you. So they aren't just dumb with themselves or putting the animal in danger. They are reckless and selfish with other people's lives too.
Narcissism
They need severe laws for anyone caught feeding wildlife and setting up the feeders. It has to be severe enough they would never consider it. I think saving animals is more important then tourists.

Yea, I'm pretty sure it can cause an obstruction and/or make them sick if they eat bread because they can't properly digest it
people want to have their disney princess moment and don't care about the consequences
Over a long course of time feeding wolves, we eventually domesticated them into dogs. They were probably the first animal we domesticated and could be attributed our success.
Although eating processed food is probably bad for any animal, even humans.
Although they shared a common extinct ancestor, dogs did not evolve from modern wolves.
I was gonna say, if we always followed this advice, the world might look a whole lot different. We domesticated dogs before we domesticated corn.
@@mel2000no, dogs are only about 100,000 years old and are directly desended from grey wolves .
Grey wolf stocks evolved into dogs through selective breeding
@@taylormcveay753 : The numerous documents I've read on dog evolution don't agree with your assertion at all. There are even cave drawings of domesticated dogs that go back further than 10,000 years.
There’s a pretty big difference. All of our food is now unnatural to some degree, from selective breeding to artificial chemicals. Maybe the not being afraid of humans would turn out ok, but giving them our food is not
As a former employee of a company in Grand canyon... The squirrel is indeed considered the deadliest/most dangerous animal there. Bites are frequent, rabies is a thing... As are other diseases like the literal plague.
Fear the friendly tree rat! (Not actually a tree rat, separate species, but the nickname fits...)
Where the hell did squirrels get the plague?

Thi is important. Dont try to tame wild animals, they deserve live a peaceful and unbothered life
Polar Bears don't fear humans to begin with. If they get the opportunity to munch on one of us they will do so without hesitation.
Finally someone not sugarcoating this. Happy to see someone be blunt about this issue
Never feed wild animals. The moment they lose their fear of us, they will become more dangerous and bold coming into human settlements.
In Ellenic tradition, Artemis, Athena and Estia are the 3 virgin Goddesses, that's because nature, knowledge and family are to remain untouched.
The fact that our "food" ruins bears should be a red flag. Imagine what it is doing to the actual humans.
our “food” is kinda unhealthy to us
Bears aren't humans tho, we have totally different survival strategies relying on different types of food.
Doesn't do anything to gators tho, they can eat anything
nothing, beacuase our FOOD is designed for us
The title should stay
There’s some idiot in town that has a “slow down, community pet deer in area” and I’ve twice taped over it “the deer are WILD, not a community pet. More people get killed in a year by deer than by bears and sharks combined”
Well you cant really compare a shark to it if not even 3-5 people a year die to one

If you want to get up close and personal with wild animals go to a zoo or animal sanctuary that has an ambassador animal program and pay to get to interact and learn about them in a safe, controlled environment. If you tell them that you specifically want to interact with an animal that you can feed, they might bring out an animal that you can pet, hold and feed.
If you want to feed wildlife on your own, do some research. Set up a hummingbird feeder, A squirrel feeder and a Bird feeder. Build some bird houses or don’t, chances are if you keep that bird feeder stocked at all times, the birds will start building their own nests nearby because they’ll learn you are a reliable source of food.
-I don’t recommend scattering seed on the ground, as the birds always leave some and this inevitably attracts rodents and pest insects which can have an impact on you and your neighbors.
Also, I would not advise feeding predators like raccoons or opossums. As cute as it is when we see videos of families showing up to a persons door for their meal, these hand outs create a swell in the population of predators in the neighborhood which have a direct impact on the prey species in the area. By feeding birds and other prey animals you are already helping out these predators by helping to keep the population of their food species more stable and plentiful. One way you can indirectly feed them though is if you happen to have a population of stray cats (or if your neighbors like to let their cats roam outdoors) you can leave cheap cat food in a bowl and fresh water outside your door or on your property somewhere to encourage the cats to eat the kibble and to NOT eat the local wildlife. Your local predators such as raccoons and opossums if your in the US will occasionally steal a bite from the kibble too without relying on it completely. I do this for the cats in my neighborhood and I see raccoons on my camera pretty rarely, and opossums only once or twice but they know it’s there if ever times are rough.
How this channel doesnt have more views baffles me. Such important and intriguing content. Keep up the good work!
The fact that bears become overweight and more inactive just from human food, really shows how unhealthy and processed our food really is..
I'm for helping hurt animal...when help is needed... feeding healthy wild animal is no no. as you explain, don't mess with nature when don't need your assistance.
“I care if this gets banned!”

I'd be too scared to feed wild animals but that's a good thing I've now learned, I had no clue that they were getting put down because people kept feeding them
Thats a cute mouse in ur pfp
this needs way more views, i hope this information is spread much more because i bet most people would see no problem giving a wild animal food if u asked them about it
Earned yourself a sub, very informative. I knew that feeding wild life could cause some issues, Ibut I didn’t know that feeding wild animals had this big of an impact on them and their offspring.

Nah not all of us are idiots with misplaced sympathy on wildlife so saying that he’s insulting “everyone” is a stretch lmao
When Al Gore was born there were 7,000 Polar Bears.

Human food isn't just bad for animals, it's also bad for humans. America has a huge health problem due to low quality processed foods, Obesity. The reason we have domesticated dogs is that humans fed wolves and these wild wolves learned to live with people. Without feeding wild animals we would not have domesticated animals.
Most human food is barely even food but more toxic let that sink in
It's simple, people get used to wrong meals and through centuries, our food is seasoned in many ways, loosing more positive features of ingredients for taste. And we not only got used to that, we don't really have that much of the energy loss on physical level. Yeah, we can be tired, but in wilds, you have no time to rest or you'll be someone else lunch, or possibly lose long awaited prey.
Rats have no problem eating our food.
Rats are omnivores, they can eat anything.
Rats aren’t wild animals, they go everywhere humans go, they live only where we live.
They are literally one of the animals that coexist with us along with cats when we started to create agriculture and store or food.
Humans can't handle human food either. It's slowly killing us.
proof?
It's just population control, you know. Nothing to get worried about
@@DONTCHECKITI think they mean like, the excessive junk food that so many of us eat. When we eat all of those hot dogs, burgers, fries and other things it’s really unhealthy. I doubt it would kill you, but overtime if you eat enough it can probably deteriorate your health to a decently large amount.

Imagine that, a specie dies out because you feed it
Thank you for calling it out. I live in the mountains in a tourist trap community where people are constantly trying to feed the deer and elk. They have become dependent on dumpster digging and the people with carrots and hay. They become docile, but simultaneously aggressive, particularly about food. I've heard of three accounts of people being attacked by elk while trying to feed them in my area. One was a little kid who got kicked in the head, and another was a local lady who died from her injuries. I've personally been kicked by a deer over a plate of vegetables many years ago. Last time I give a wild animal food from my hands, but more importantly, filling their guts with anything other than what they graze is a losing scenario for the deer and the environment that relies on their persistent upkeep of undergrowth. Forest fires are made a bigger issue when grazers don't keep the grass and brush down.
never thought I see Watop put that as his title, can tell this topic is close to his heart
Literally just started this episode, and I'll of course edit my comment if I feel I need to buy the end, but this topic is close to my heart. I've been homeless since about 2011, and my chosen habitat is alone in uninhabited woodland. I rescue and rehabilitate roosters, which means that the people who get to know me, or stumble across by campsite suddenly associate me with rescuing ALL types of birds, and inevitably baby songbirds are brought to me every year, and every year I either do what I can if the bird is uninjured and old enough to fledge within about a week (not comfortable keeping wildlife any longer), or I contact my local raptor rescue (Raindance Raptors in Olympia, WA) to ask for advice, often giving birds over to them if they have the space to take them. That being said, I'm often advised to hold onto the Little Ones, but seldom to the point of release as being birds, there's often something underlying that takes them, or the raptor lady is able to make some space for my unexpected freeloaders and take over rehabilitation from there. I also have a wonderful vet with a speciality and vested interest in avian medicine that I can reach out to for advice.
Birds are pretty much the only wild animal I make an exception to for feeding. Not only do the wild birds help keep my birds safe by alerting to potential predators and unwanted visitors, but many well respected bird authorities such as the Audubon society, Cornell, etc. advise to feed wild birds if possible. Of course, if you're feeding wild birds, you'll want your feeders away from your home, windows made to be "birdy safe", and ONLY feed them quality food (generic "birdseed" is awful and often most of the weight you pay for is millet, which is usually ignored and discarded by the birds, creating a mess below feeders and attracting mice and rats, but also the nutritional value is akin to us feasting on potato chips).
That being said, never feed wild animals bread. Bread fed to waterfowl can cause "angel wing", where the last joint of the wing (essentially wrist to fingertips) bends outward, the bird can no longer fly, and the condition is permanent with no treatment. Uneaten bread allowed to decompose into an environment is often responsible for toxic algae blooms and other bacteria and molds that can make a habitat unliveable. Likewise, do not feed corn in an environment where it can get wet, as when it decomposes, it creates a toxin that can kill birds, and it can create enough of this toxin to kill a bird overnight if it gets wet, freezes, then thaws. Be mindful of the birds in your area and what they'd eat naturally, and try not to fill their diets with too many "exotic" treats, as their systems aren't designed for them and can actually waste energy trying to break down and digest something that its body isn't made for.
In my case, I put up suet and toss dried coconut, rolled oats, cracked corn, and a special "no mess" fruit and nut mix from Wild Birds Unlimited (WBU) as "scratch" for my boys, which wild birds often indulge in and I make no effort to drive them away, but my scratch is only tossed if they don't crow in the morning (reward for staying calm and patient until I let them out), and only tossed in areas I know will stay dry, and get picked clean fairly quickly. Beyond that, if I'm able, I'll put out a feeder specifically for the wild birds, filled only with no mess mixes from WBU far enough away from my campsite that I can see the birds that visit, but they still have their own space.
I also use live traps to catch and release squirrels, rats, opossums, and raccoons as these are all "pest" animals that are abundant and WILL bring harm to my chickens if left alone. I take them to a wildlife preserve that's decently far away from where I live, and gives them the choice to either live in unadulterated woodland interspersed with swamp and a stream, or the neigbourhood that butts up against the preserve if the animals would prefer to stay near human settlements.
I do not go out of my way to feed or handle wild animals. I do not put effort into training them. I merely live amongst them as a neighbour and passive steward.
You’re a good man.
I do have a couple bird feeders in winter. I only use black sunflower seed and safflower. I never put them close to my house and I make efforts to keep them out of range of deer and others. I also am selective on when to feed. I only do it in the winter for the most part and only when I know it will be really cold. I switch to meal worms in the spring, and by summer I don't feed. I also have a lot of native plants in my yard and that in itself is a lot of shelter and food. I never try and train any animal, as I enjoy just watching them. My only really bad habit is bird houses and I do it because they help keep my garden pest free. So in a way they pay rent. I even deep clean everything after they are gone.
I had/have neighbors who insist on feeding the squirrels and deer. When the one couple left the squirrel over population became even more obvious. I started trapping and releasing them on some land I have over 20 miles away. I trapped over 7 of them, and one must have been the dominant male as when I got home there was a gathering of the squirrels to establish the new ranks. Seeing over 2 dozen grey squirrels near your yard fighting is not fun. The other neighbor has stopped putting out corn after we told them we didn't like mowing rows of corn in our yards, its just whole peanuts now....
I try not to do too much, and it is hard.
@@Kriskat6 Ah man, I've lived next to squirrel feeders, and it was not a pleasant confrontation when I brought a small, profusely bleeding rooster (I'd done what I could before confronting, of course, but there's only do much that can be done for facial wounds) to them to show the effects of feeding squirrels, and how those squirrels then attack others when those folks don't give in to their demands for food. My neigbourhood was not sympathetic, as they believed that since the squirrels were here before us, they had the right to attack whoever they wanted for any reason. Thankfully, I no longer live there.
@@OlyChickenGuy Since the wild life in the area has lost a lot of fear as the result of feeding and moved closer, so do the predators. Had a woman get trapped on a picnic table in the down town park by a coyote.
I have had to deal with mean squirrels, hence why they go out to my rural property. They have to fend for themselves out there. I even trap the cats that people let out as I am tired of their bad behaviors in my yard. They go to the humane society.
@@Kriskat6 Where I'm currently at, I'm right on the edge of wilderness and commercial centre, so just a few blocks one way there's a mall, and a few blocks the other is just rolling hills owned by lumber companies and highway. I have coyotes roam through quite frequently, but thankfully never had an issue, and I occasionally hear "screaming" cougars. I'm honestly surprised there's not more unfortunate encounters with the wildlife around here, but that will undoubtedly change as the cities continue to expand.
Ah, yes, the cat owners who think it's a-okay to allow their tiny murder machines to roam freely. Here in Washington, though it's seldom enforced, there's actually leash laws that TECHNICALLY make it illegal to own a "free roaming" cat, and I honestly don't see why that's a bad idea. I'm not a cat-HATER, per se - I do become friendly with cats that I encounter frequently, such as when they belong to friends - but I also feel that with the way our modern world is, we really don't have an excuse to continue breeding them, especially when so many modern cat owners are so blatantly irresponsible. I've caught and turned in a few cats to my local shelter, but only when they've become chronic issues, and it's clear that their owner isn't taking care of them.
A powerful, and entirely correct, video and its topic.
I been thinking of this for a long time, thank you watop for spreading awareness
My parents always tell me not to feed wild animals but I did not think that it was that terrifying of a consequence and all of that could happen from stupid humans treating wild animals the same way how they’ll treat that pets.
You're actually so real for posting this
Commenting to push the algorithm and a side note:
Even if you don’t have food and an animal is begging you for food, you will give it food one way or another either it eats you or it ransacks you
I mean like, polar bears just, aren't scared of us.
Its one of the few creatures on the planet who actively consider us prey
The other one is my ex.
I'm here all week.
A friend of mine worked at a zoo and once asked a person to not throw food into the enclosure. He gave her a blank, confused look.
EVERYONE in the world should have to watch this!!!
It must only be big animals that are dangerous, In the grand canyon despite MANY SIGNS people still feed the squirrels. These squirrels will walk right up to you.
Thanks for making this video. It is sad that feeding an animal to help it would lead it to it's own demise😢.
Honestly i never expected WATOP to curse in his title, just like Vsuace not deleting his "Mario farts" video. But I don't blame them for being mad about something like this, in fact I respect it!
Can't pet the critters, cant feed them, cant abduct them and bring them home... If we cant interact with wild animals, can we at least get working on removing the part of the brain that makes us find them so cute? I cant live like this!
Admire them from a distance, like a beautiful gemstone you don't want to get tarnished.
It's absolutely awful that there are laws preventing us from helping wild animals and that they get killed when humans help them when hundreds of years ago humans and animals lived side by side. If these laws were in effect back then, we'd never have dogs or cats. Can't help but feel sorry that the polar bears are starving and we can't throw them some scraps when they're just going to invade a human town anyway at some point. Better scraps then a human, honestly. At this point, its like people want animals to go extinct. It's always humans fault when a species goes extinct and when they do go to help them, it's too late. It's sad for us animal lovers.
Work at a zoo.
Moral of the story:
Keep your wild animal feeding sessions off social media.
not sure why people think feeding wild animals is saving them. If they couldn't hunt on their own, well then they'd already be dead.
I agree with 75% of this video.
I don’t know of anyone in their right mind actively feeding coyotes. There’s a reason why people are told to dispatch coyotes on sight and are able to be hunted year round. Nuisances, overpopulated, and greatly affects other populations of wildlife.
Deer feeders in or close to woods are no big deal. I would agree to not have deer feeders in a neighborhood or in urban areas, but most of the examples you showed were deer feeders that hunters set up. As a deer hunter myself, most of the fights I’ve heard or seen were away from the deer feeder. Also there’s a technique called “rattling” to call a buck to you. Bucks are attracted to the sound of fighting and if you “rattle” there is a chance of a nice sized buck being curious or wanting to get some sparring in. They especially tussle during or right before rut season due to competition over mating. Fighting is natural with deer and is not caused by a deer feeder drawing them to a specific spot.
Polar bears will eat anything that they see move because food is scarce. That’s not a problem with people feeding them. That’s just the way they are. I even believe I have watched the video you used of the human in a glass box and I believe they were trying to prove that polar bears are ruthless and can spot something living/moving from miles away and will go on a mission to investigate. But yes, of course, it is best to not feed them or any other bear if someone actually is doing so.
The rest of the video, especially the gator part, I agree with.
It says a lot that our food kills animals. Aren't we animals too? I wonder what it does to us.
I think part of it is because wild animals have digestive systems that can handle various plants and raw meat. Human foods don't require as much breakdown, so when they get used to our food, they slowly lose the ability to process their natural food. The other part is junk food is bad for everyone and much worse for animals since it's such a huge jump from their regular cuisine. It's almost like how we get sick eatting various types of raw meat or plants but wild animals can eat that no problem
Human eat variety of foods and supplements too. Plus we have doctors and nutritionist and information so any issues can be immediately addressed.

Thank you so much for making this video. Now, if people would just listen.
Living in Florida it’s well known that feeding alligators is a no no. Yet people still do it!
You are doing justice work. Continue the honest hardwork!
Your argument presented in this video, has some good points. But you need to look at the bigger picture, we are occupying their ancestral land. Eventually the wild animals will have no choice but get food from humans. Squirrels and raccoons have fingers, and they are smart. By not feeding them we are artificially stopping their co evolution with humans. Hand feeding animals is wrong i agree, but squirrels/raccoons are not just wild animals, they are semi domesticated beasts that live among us and will someday evolve to become semi equals with humans. Another point is, we are wild animals. Our microbiome contains trillions of living creatures, we have control over them. But are absolutely beneficial to our existence. Humans have no right to tell others what to do with our wild micro organisms, let alone wild animals outside co existing with us peacefully.
The squirrels and raccoons are not semi domesticated, They're just smart enough to figure out what to do and what not to do and other stuff,
Domestication happens when humans want to make this species beneficial to us, Like dogs helping us emotionally and use to be helpful for hunting and now replaced with tracking down humans, And cows by giving us food,
And that ''someday will evolve to be semi equals to us humans'' is not gauranteed,
And if you mean microbiome as in biomes like our guts you are right AND wrong,
We do have a lot of creatures in our gut, hair, etc, But we do not have control over them all, Microbiomes such as your hair may have lice, Which is not beneficial and is actually bad for us,
And humans do have a right to tell what to do with SOME animals, Notice how I said some?, Because the only animals that us humans have no right or barely any right to tell us what to do with our animals are our domesticated animals like dogs, cats, cows, etc, and wild birds, You can feed wild birds, Nothing wrong with it just make sure to feed them high quality seeds and if your not near a city, attach a bird feeder no where near your home.
And the first part the ''We're occupying their ancestral land'' is entirely true and I can't say anything about it.
And the ''eventually wild animals will have no choice but to get food from humans'' has a high chance to happen.
That title bro. SAYS IT ALL.

Wonder if there will come a time where our fruits are so cultivated they aren't even good for people.
Doubt it
They would be classified as poisonous and descontinued
N
They wouldn't be able to pass on their characteristics and more favorable or at least less poisonous fruits would thrive in their stead
Humans would have grown or develop resistance to what it continues to become, but other species tho...
@@mauigonz We already have candy, many times the sugar of regular fruits but without the nutrients fruits come with, literal poison but still legal. I highly doubt that fruit will be banned simply because they have less nutrients and more sugar. Especially with companies being able to lobby government regulation.
They already have been depending on how you look at it. Pesticide residue hurts us. Also apperently they so much sugar now that it is bad for teeth and cardiovascular health.
@@odach2034
Just the same you can buy apples and get 250K apple seed and take them so you die
Everything is poisonous in big quantities
It isn't that candy is great but you have low blood sugar taking a lollipop would do well
You can get fat If you eat too much of It yeah
But in moderation It isn't bad
If you eat 3 apples a day you won't see much of a problem
But If suddenly eating 3 apples a day starts mass killing people
They WILL be regulated or straight up banned
If eating 30 lollipops will eventually lead you to diabetes but because you also mixed it with poor exercise, drinking soda and being sedentary and die
It isn't a problem of regulation It is a problem of uneducated people having poor health habits
I agree with most/all the stuff on this list, but I think feeding the wild or city birds on foods that are healthy and good for them and not doing it too often is different as long as you do it in suitable places like your garden or at the river or park, etc.
This is actually a very informative video. I thought people feeding animals was a harmless thing. Now I know it's not good to feed animals at all. Now I feel like I'll have to tell people not to feed any animal to prevent animals dying from it.
There is a woman who takes care of foxes. Her youtube channel is saveafox. She takes care of foxes or other animals. I'm not sure, but she is really nice.
Idk if this counts, but some people like vets or people that take care of wildlife still feed them and take care of them and sent them back in the wildlife but i think before that they gave them thier regular foods like dead animals for meat eating animals or trees or fish for other animals too, They put them in thier regular diet before letting them go. They did the same with an octopus and fended them clams and letting the octopus go free into the sea. But i also think that zookeepers, researchers, and rehabilitators can only take care and feed animals in need with their regular diets of whatever they eat, of course.
Also, you forgot to mention that some authorities contain animals that have been fed by humans. They take care of the animal and also give it the regular food it needs and send the animal to a different location. That way, it doesn't run into other people begging for human food. This has been happening for a while, so that way, other people won't harm the animal or killing it.
I wasn't sure if everyone knew it or not, but i hope this helps just in case.
Great video and good message too.
That's the same music as Scary Interesting. I have to point out when I notice stuff like that
this video is sooo important!! thank you for awareness
My father told me a year ago that in the resort we had recently visited (in Hurghada, Egypt), a man was bitten by a reef shark. It was reported that this shark was repeatedly being fed by visitors of the place, which one really shouldn't do. This led to the shark habitually seeking out humans expecting food. The man might have provoked a bite due to a panic response, I don't really know though . To clarify, I forgot whether it was that resort or the bay Sharm El Naga or another place we've visited, but the point is that shark attacks boil down to human error, such as treating those sharks inconsiderately.
Love the title!
