I get your point. I also feel so sad for these deer that are so cute and people feed them. They are only encouraging them to not fear people and therefore become dinner.

Another thing is that we hear over and over to take bird feeders in in the summer. The birds need to learn to find their own food and the feeders draw the wild animals. They say they take them in at night. Really? Do they not realize the seeds fall on the ground? Everywhere I have heard of a bear breaking into somebody's garbage or are on their porch, there is a bird feeder near by. Ok, off my soapbox, one of my pet peeves.
