Keep Wildlife Wild


Currently there is a lot of oblique news about the existence of wild animals that enter the settlement. In this reflection article, we don’t need to discuss, what's happen, how it could happen. Because we should already know why, and the answer must be because their homes have been tripped up by people who only prioritize their personal wealth without thinking about the impact that will occur on their surroundings and because the nature of the wild animals has begun to change.
On 2018, YSEALI Fellows and I visited the Yosemite National Park , in that National Park we found a lot of slogans that contained prohibition on feeding animals in national parks.

Don’t feed the animals!! Keep them wild!!

This case is always underlined when we were in this national park, they strongly criticize the provision of food to animals in this national park, they do not hesitate to fine anyone who violates their rules. During our camp, we stayed at Half Dome, we were not allowed to bring food into the camp because it was feared that it would be attacked by bears and other wild animals, we had to save our food in a cupboard outside the camp.
In fact we can see people around us, people feel excited when they see wild animals starting to roam around the road or close to their settlements. Then the people will show their mercy by giving food to these animals. With these habits, it will certainly change the behavior and character of the animal itself.

Feeding wild animals, whether on purpose or not, does more harm than good.
Wild animals that are accustomed to being fed so that if they are released in the wild they will be spoiled because they are used to the food provided, they will tend to wait for the "feed" rather than trying to find their own food. While feeding human food to wildlife makes those people doing so feel good, in the long run it is often to the detriment of the animal recipients. Although many animals will eat stale bread when offered, temporarily satisfying their hunger, in reality, many human foods especially bread lack the protein and nutritional components animals need for good health.
