Don't get me wrong, I love these pictures, they're really sweet, but I hope this doesn't persuade people to go about trying to make "wildlife friends" using food. In the end it isn't good for them, especially not deer. I once went camping as a kid, and we met an extremely friendly fox, who was clearly used to humans coming to his part of the forest. A couple days later, a gun shot was heard and his friendliness got him killed. A similar situation happened a few years previously where a herd of deer starved to death after humans stopped feeding them during the winter since no one was camping anymore. Under normal conditions, they'd have migrated to an area with more food. As wonderful as earth life is, in MOST cases (not all though), it's best to just admire from afar.

In addition to "A feed bear is a dead bear (fox/deer/etc.)" I had seeing small mammals that hibernate being feed. Most of what they are feed by humans have a high salt content which interferes with their hibernation and a very good chance they do not wake from hibernation ie they die. Please please please stop feeding wild animals

all i want is to be friends with some crows or ravens. is that so much to ask?

It warms my heart to see people be kind to animals

Everyone wants to be a Disney princess.

I envy these people that could befriend an animal. Whenever i go near a cat they always run away from me -_-

Try thinking about this: the wild lives know we humans are dominant and critical to sustain their livelihood.

When I went on a road trip a prairie dog decided it wanted my food, ran up to me, bit my hand so I would release the granola bar and then ran off with it. Does that count?
