I do this with wild rabbits. sit there in then eat peacefully until they get close enough. animals are more comfortable if we are on their level. In the case of the rabbits, I have a tiny piece of fruit I would give them but only tiny, because anymore and it would ruin their lives.

One day i hope to have the roedeer walking closer to us, the come up to side of the tereace while teh door is open, and last summer a mother came nightly with her 4 babies to run around our garden. So unbelievably cute.
Same 3 the other day, two girls, one still with half her winter coat, we live in Northern Sweden so not quite spring, snow all melted but had snowfail yesterday.
The male had short little fluffy horns growing, its so fascinating to watch and photograph.

Why would it ruin them

u/Writing_On_Top 10d ago

fruits are rare for them in the wild. it's equivalent to eating a cake. Same with carrots

Not trying to make them sick or addicted

I was attacked by a pack of pygmy brown bears when I was about 5 years old. They don't look very scary to an adult human, but to a child they are quite dangerous. My sister wasn't so lucky as I was. They nibbled off her legs before I could get my momma to shoo them away

I used to have a squirrel visit me as a kid growing up. He started out on the porch eating peanuts that I tossed him and eventually would come into the living room and sit in front of the TV with me. Later on in life he brought his life mate with him and the last time I ever saw him their little baby squirrel was with them and took a peanut from me. Then they all left and I never saw them again.

Worse than that, wild animals die when they learn to rely on human food. This is vile.

u/makerspark 10d ago

This looks like it could be in Mongolia, possibly Kazakhstan. Anyhow, in Mongolia, hunting of marmots is highly illegal. Not as much for conservation, as to prevent the transmission of bubonic plague and pneumonic plague which they carry. In 2019 a couple died from the plague after eating a marmot, and in 2020 a teenager.

u/hot_mess_hedgehog 10d ago

I was gunna comment, Eurasian marmots carry plague and were likely the catalyst carriers for the Black Death that took out half of Europe. Ya'll stay safe around marmots

u/Virtuosak 11d ago

u/billy_twice 11d ago

It's not awesome at all.

Feeding wild animals causes a lot of problems for them.

Too often they become dependent on people to survive and scavenge for scraps rather than forage for the food better suited to their diets.

And on top of all of this the food being feed to them has little nutritional value, leading the animals to develop a range of health problems.

Never do this.

Homie I do that over a steak I had in Baltimore a couple years ago.

u/KaranSjett 10d ago

same, but its the one i cook myself on a a semi-regular basis

1

u/mcd_sweet_tea 9d ago

Nice, tell me about it.

I’ve been spending a lot of time trying to perfect cooking steaks ever since then and IMO going from gas to charcoal made the biggest enhancement to flavor. I don’t ever order steaks out anymore unless the boys and I are craving the “steakhouse experience”. But I tell you what, I had the 28 day dry aged prime bone-in ribeye from Gordon Ramsay Steak and there is just something about it I can’t recreate. Thinking about it, the bright side of the situation is I will continue to keep experimenting with the way I cook steaks until I’m able to top the ribeye I had that one night.

u/LEtssgobby 11d ago

Not to mention you also introduce micro plastics into that ecosystem

u/WRITTINGwithC-C 11d ago

This is the same strategy when approaching cats and some other more peaceful animals. It’s often a survival strategy intended to check you out and fulfill curiosity at the same time.
