The video was saying more than I think they intended. If human food is bad for other primates, it's bad for us. We're just as susceptible to the harms of carbs as the other animals we feed them to. They're empty calories (pure sugar) to the human body. Energy without nutrition. Wheat is only useful when you need extra energy for a strenuous job(like farming), not for general consumption in a sedentary society.
I came to the comments to point out as much. It changes their inner microorganisms. They can no longer break down fiber as easily. Why are we eating this crap!!!
The biggest part that gets me is that the humans who are doing this receive little to no punishment while it’s the animals getting put down for simply following their survival instincts.
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”.
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.

Thanks for educating me. Though I rarely go on trips where I would see wildlife, the times that I have, I have considered feeding them, thinking that’d be helping them. I’ve also fed geese and squirrels bread, feeling sorry for them. So I’ve now learned that it does more harm than good. I think most people like me who have fed wild animals think we’re doing something good and saving the animal from hunger so videos like this are extremely important. I admit I was one of these people and will definitely stop moving forward. It’s not like I feed wild animals regularly or anything but there have been rare times where I have “helped” them not knowing I’m making a negative impact on their lifespan and health. Sorry, animals.
Your response, as somebody who was part of the problem, is the pinnacle of maturity- gold star for you.⭐️Way too many people, when confronted with evidence that they're wrong about something, double down and dig their heels into their position, refusing to change their thinking and/or behavior. The ability to change your opinion in accordance with new information is also one of the hallmarks of being a true intellectual. Thanks for being one of the rare reasonable, civilized people on the internet.🌟💫✨
It's ok to help and feed some animals but ya know just do your research before doing so, feeding bread to birds and giving a dog a treat is ok as long as it is only a little bit and not often like every day obviously.
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.
I had this video (UA-cam channel:"James Blackwood", Video Title: "Mobbed by raccoons (25) Tuesday night 03, Nov 2020" video has 40 million views and I can only imagine the damage that it has done nationwide to local raccoon populatios.), it was an elderly man that was feeding about 30 raccoons daily, and this was exactly what I was thinking, and unfortunately in the comments there wasn't a single person that stated why feeding wild animals is bad, everyone was just "oh the raccoons are so cute!". But everything that you've said in this video was True in that video, the raccoons were fighting with each other and not looking for their own food, instead loitering on his property, looking for a handout.
Polar bears are actually not afraid of people at all, in fact they are one of the few animals that see humans as prey and will actively track and hunt humans to try to eat them
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.
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.
I remember my parents driving through Pike's Peak National Forest when age 4-5. We were stopped in traffic and I was eating baby carrots from a zip loc bag, with the window down. Suddenly outta nowhere a deer stuck her head through the window and swiped my carrots, bag and all. Scared the crap outta me.
"Our" food? We live in the golden age of information. Start a garden. Buy some chickens and learn how chicken reproduction works. My food is fine. . 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. I went from completely useless to mostly self sufficient in a couple years through research, time and effort. Anyone with access to the internet and a willingness to learn can 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. A vote from 1 person is insignificant; votes from 1 group holds far more power.

Every day i go for a walk on my lunch break to a park with a pond in my city. There are 6 geese that are kind of celebrities and go to Hope for Wildlife in the winter, but all the ducks that stay there don't migrate because people feed them so much. There are signs everywhere explaining this, but it doesn't matter to people. Many people think there's no harm, but when there are signs everywhere saying otherwise, just obey that and respect that wildlife do not need human interference. They are fine and will be fine.
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.
@@IIMiikexDIIThe same thing happens in Venice with seagulls and pigeons. Why would anyone feed pigeons? They aren’t endangered. And why do tourists feed them only in Venice and not in their hometown? Why are pigeons a tourist attraction anyway? You’re in Venice, there are more interesting things to do than feeding animals, you could find at your doorstep. Might as well feed rats.
Aw hell nah you ain’t gunna put this on extroverts. IJT Roberta are far more likely to be the ones to feed wild animals for “companionship.” A lady in Whistler, BC was feeding bears from her backyard, spending hundreds of dollars on food to do it resulting in the bears being killed.
I sometimes feed the spiders in my garden, if I notice they haven’t caught anything in a while. Two of them ended up mating, I certainly didn’t intend to be a spider matchmaker
I do that on purpose and ended up with 7 argiope aurantia egg sacks this year. The garden spider. How I love them! And orb weavers, crab spiders and jumping spiders!
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
This is why I hate social media! These so called models go there to take a “feeding x” picture and it gives the idea to their followers to do the same.
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

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.
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.
2/3 of Americans are obese. They probably saw the fat bear and thought “wooohoo, now that’s an American bear! YEEHAW!!,” Can’t expect people to know that obesity for animals is bad when they don’t know that obesity in general is bad, even for humans. I blame Haes
Its not about fear. Its them getting used interacting to humans. When you give them food they will be used getting food from humans. You know what will happen after that? They will go out of their habitat just to get food that they are used to and probably wander around to nearby villages. For safety reason they shouldnt do that. Have you even watched the video. Before i watched the video i was clueless why. Now im able to come with a reason why probably. You just come here to hate.
@@hongfeiwei2710 Wrong, you don't have to be corrupt, you just have to lie to people and speak what they want to hear, be innefficient, pretend nothing is wrong and then you can be corrupt.
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.
In my experience, both from my field of study (Animal Behaviour studies), 3 years as a zookeeper, along with years and years of study in zoology, people are ridiculously misinformed about animals and wildlife in general. People simply either don't know or don't care (often both). People can barely identify animals as they see them and their knowledge of a lot of animals goes about as far as something they heard or saw in a Disney movie. It's pretty sad. People can be very ignorant of the unpredictability of many animal species and the dangers posed by them. Add on top of the fact people anthropomorphize (Give human traits/emotions to animals) animals at almost every turn, people don't stop to think about the consequences of their actions or don't take the time to inform themselves on the truth of things. WIldlife is made to be admired from a distance, without human intervention. This may vary among certain species. But if you don't know, why not have the common sense of playing it safe? And yeah, do NOT FEED wild animals! As indicated in the video, you're doing more harm than good. Thank you for spreading more awareness and knowledge!
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.
@4kDeadMan1995 It’s crazy how simple truths can be so hard to explain. People have convictions based on superficial impressions and can’t think about them at any depth other than: yes I am correct.
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.
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 🤷 Edit: If you have a dog, you can gather up its fur and tie it to your bird feeder. They will take it and use it for their nests.
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 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...)
I think that the comment or possibly meant to imply that rabies is like a squirrel plague but not literally the bubonic plague … pray that the bubonic plague never resurfaces again.

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
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.
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
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.
@@ThegreatblazingsunDo 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 💀
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.
So… is my bird feeder still allowed?! Am I still allowed to grow sunflowers in my garden??? Those bees seem awfully appreciative, but I can tell ‘em to hit the bricks! Should I plow my garden under?!?
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.
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
@@Thegreatblazingsun : 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
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.
@@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.

Okay, I get that with bears and all, and even rats.. but where I grew up, it is total normal to have birdhouses everywhere, so now I try to think of a reason what for. And like there's really a lot of forrest near, everywhere, but the houses are even placed in the forrests
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.
Question. Does this apply to hummingbirds feeders and leaving water for birds? I live in a big city and its getting hotter and dryer so i believe if i dont give them water they are going to die for lack of water and nectar (in case of hummingbirds)
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
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.
another problem with losing fear of humans is the fact they not all are so kind... the best we can do for them is keep them scared... because even if your kind enough to be safe... the next one won't be, but the animal won't know that....
Very good and important video! Also I'd like to point out that we (as humans) need to accept that nature works differently. Populations fluctuate and animals starving to death is normal. In those cases where it is an actual issues it's best left to wildlife management/rangers, because overfeeding (even with the right foods) leads to population increase, which leads to faster food depletion and worse starvation.
The concern for 'human food' on 'wild life' is pointed out accurately. I hope we realise 'humans' are also 'animals' and all the so called human food are harming us more than ever
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.
Cheerios is PROCESSED JUNK similar to human bread. Look up the natural seeds & other food sources that’s on their natural food supply. Our garbage processed junk isn’t even good for us - and definitely damages their health as well. 🤦♀️

When he said "it seems this stuff isn't good for everyone, except for humans", I chuckled remembering the obesity rates.
In America the average weight of a woman is 170, and it's 220 for a man.
The video was saying more than I think they intended. If human food is bad for other primates, it's bad for us. We're just as susceptible to the harms of carbs as the other animals we feed them to. They're empty calories (pure sugar) to the human body. Energy without nutrition. Wheat is only useful when you need extra energy for a strenuous job(like farming), not for general consumption in a sedentary society.

I came to the comments to point out as much. It changes their inner microorganisms. They can no longer break down fiber as easily. Why are we eating this crap!!!
The biggest part that gets me is that the humans who are doing this receive little to no punishment while it’s the animals getting put down for simply following their survival instincts.
But there has to be a balance, and stop their future generations from getting ruined even more.
There’s a reason it’s called WILDlife. Leave them alone.

Thank you for this… I wish people would just leave animals alone, I mean seriously just observe from a far when you see animals in nature.
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.
Both

@@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”.
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.

Thanks for educating me. Though I rarely go on trips where I would see wildlife, the times that I have, I have considered feeding them, thinking that’d be helping them. I’ve also fed geese and squirrels bread, feeling sorry for them. So I’ve now learned that it does more harm than good. I think most people like me who have fed wild animals think we’re doing something good and saving the animal from hunger so videos like this are extremely important. I admit I was one of these people and will definitely stop moving forward. It’s not like I feed wild animals regularly or anything but there have been rare times where I have “helped” them not knowing I’m making a negative impact on their lifespan and health. Sorry, animals.
Your response, as somebody who was part of the problem, is the pinnacle of maturity- gold star for you.⭐️Way too many people, when confronted with evidence that they're wrong about something, double down and dig their heels into their position, refusing to change their thinking and/or behavior.

It's ok to help and feed some animals but ya know just do your research before doing so, feeding bread to birds and giving a dog a treat is ok as long as it is only a little bit and not often like every day obviously.

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.
@Nylon_riot the reason why it's 'lost' footage is because we learned bears don't wait until you're dead to start eating.

But everything that you've said in this video was True in that video, the raccoons were fighting with each other and not looking for their own food, instead loitering on his property, looking for a handout.

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.
What about feeding human food to wild birds in parks?
@@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.
@@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

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.
I remember my parents driving through Pike's Peak National Forest when age 4-5. We were stopped in traffic and I was eating baby carrots from a zip loc bag, with the window down.

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.

Every day i go for a walk on my lunch break to a park with a pond in my city. There are 6 geese that are kind of celebrities and go to Hope for Wildlife in the winter, but all the ducks that stay there don't migrate because people feed them so much. There are signs everywhere explaining this, but it doesn't matter to people. Many people think there's no harm, but when there are signs everywhere saying otherwise, just obey that and respect that wildlife do not need human interference. They are fine and will be fine.

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.

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
less plants being seeded and less range that they are seeded (by droppings)

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.
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.
made up story.
They are seeing the fat bears themselves, I wouldn’t say they don’t know, they just don’t care
2/3 of Americans are obese.
They probably saw the fat bear and thought “wooohoo, now that’s an American bear! YEEHAW!!,”

Thank you so much for making this video. People need to be educated about this.
In my experience, both from my field of study (Animal Behaviour studies), 3 years as a zookeeper, along with years and years of study in zoology, people are ridiculously misinformed about animals and wildlife in general. People simply either don't know or don't care (often both). People can barely identify animals as they see them and their knowledge of a lot of animals goes about as far as something they heard or saw in a Disney movie. It's pretty sad. People can be very ignorant of the unpredictability of many animal species and the dangers posed by them.
Add on top of the fact people anthropomorphize (Give human traits/emotions to animals) animals at almost every turn, people don't stop to think about the consequences of their actions or don't take the time to inform themselves on the truth of things. WIldlife is made to be admired from a distance, without human intervention. This may vary among certain species. But if you don't know, why not have the common sense of playing it safe? And yeah, do NOT FEED wild animals! As indicated in the video, you're doing more harm than good. Thank you for spreading more awareness and knowledge!

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 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.

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.

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
Yep there are lots. just go outside about 3am they're everywhere. People, put the rubbish in the bin. (UK)
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.
OK Karen 😂
@@ThegreatblazingsunStay off the internet, you clearly need to. Yesh
@@Thegreatblazingsunthe video above the comment section is literally all about why not to feed wild animals.
@tikclicktok958 the guys talking about calling the cops on a lady and putting her in prison for feeding a wild animal that's insane.
@@ThegreatblazingsunDo 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 💀
When i first read the title I was like: " People feed wild animals idiots?"😭
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.
Finally someone not sugarcoating this. Happy to see someone be blunt about this issue
The Minecraft sound and visual effects really sold it to me the dangers of feeding wildlife critters.
So… is my bird feeder still allowed?! Am I still allowed to grow sunflowers in my garden??? Those bees seem awfully appreciative, but I can tell ‘em to hit the bricks! Should I plow my garden under?!?
Never feed wild animals. The moment they lose their fear of us, they will become more dangerous and bold coming into human settlements.
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.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO, THANK YOUU!!!❤️❤️❤️
I had no idea this was such a big issue. Good to know for sure.
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
@@Thegreatblazingsun : 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
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.
i initially wanted to argue. but now i agree with you. very well stated video sir.
That's the same music as Scary Interesting. I have to point out when I notice stuff like that
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.
@@robynngo411also our extremely processed foods
@@robynngo411 no wonders ppl die all the time and ppl are not immortal.
In Ellenic tradition, Artemis, Athena and Estia are the 3 virgin Goddesses, that's because nature, knowledge and family are to remain untouched.
Okay, I get that with bears and all, and even rats.. but where I grew up, it is total normal to have birdhouses everywhere, so now I try to think of a reason what for. And like there's really a lot of forrest near, everywhere, but the houses are even placed in the forrests
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.
you know s**t get serious when he straight up insults everyone in the title of the video
Nah not all of us are idiots with misplaced sympathy on wildlife so saying that he’s insulting “everyone” is a stretch lmao
yup
Question.
Does this apply to hummingbirds feeders and leaving water for birds?
I live in a big city and its getting hotter and dryer so i believe if i dont give them water they are going to die for lack of water and nectar (in case of hummingbirds)
This needs to be a global radio broadcast
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
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.
another problem with losing fear of humans is the fact they not all are so kind... the best we can do for them is keep them scared... because even if your kind enough to be safe... the next one won't be, but the animal won't know that....
Very good and important video!
Also I'd like to point out that we (as humans) need to accept that nature works differently. Populations fluctuate and animals starving to death is normal. In those cases where it is an actual issues it's best left to wildlife management/rangers, because overfeeding (even with the right foods) leads to population increase, which leads to faster food depletion and worse starvation.
A powerful, and entirely correct, video and its topic.
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.
UA-cam better not take this down. DON'T FEED WILD ANIMALS

Well this is one hell of a thumbnail to compliment one hell of a title.
Do you understand what's happening in the thumbnail? I tried looking through the comments for an explanation but couldn't find anything
@@XemPvP No I don’t know what the context of the thumbnail is, there’s rows of meat and chunks taken out of polar bears so nothing good I imagine.
The concern for 'human food' on 'wild life' is pointed out accurately.
I hope we realise 'humans' are also 'animals' and all the so called human food are harming us more than ever
Its a very clear message, if you truly love animals you will leave them alone.
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.
I heard it's ok to feed ducks peas, is that true?
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
I've had luck with geese and raspberries, idk about a duck tho
Cheerios is PROCESSED JUNK similar to human bread. Look up the natural seeds & other food sources that’s on their natural food supply. Our garbage processed junk isn’t even good for us - and definitely damages their health as well. 🤦♀️
“I care if this gets banned!”
*4 days later
“apparently not.”
I never thought to say this but human kindness is a terrifying thing
Ive actually had to help a national park with identifying which deer had CWD (cervid wasting disease) using deer fur, as it’s becoming a large problem where I live
Most human food is barely even food but more toxic let that sink in
Putting toxic food in your sink isnt a great idea.
@@vbrawny_zuelong5300 most human food isn't food
Imagine that, a specie dies out because you feed it
