A Vicious Circle People feed wildlife to lure the animals closer for photography or because they think that the animals are hungry. Wild animals approach people looking for handouts. This leads to conflicts between wildlife and people.
Wildlife becomes dependant on people for food and stops looking for natural food.
These handouts often have little nutritional value. Wild animals that rely on human food raid garbage cans and coolers and wander out onto roads. Many wild animals are lured into an area too small to support them. Wild animals overeat the vegetation in the area including shrubs and gardens.
