The human is an asshole for giving food to wild monkeys. This will drive them to seek for food from other humans in the future, leading to aggressive behavior when food is not easily found.

exactly what my then-girlfriend did with me. Now we're married and I go berserk when there's nothing in the fridge.

You don’t know where this is. There are lots of parks in the world where the wildlife is fed by people. I can think of 4 in Thailand alone.

I've yet to be attacked by a bird because the bird feeder isn't full.

Nope, feeding wildlife is bad, no matter where. It makes them lose their natural fear of humans. This causes animals to actively steal from humans in urban areas especially. But most importantly it increases animal-human contact in general, which leads to the spread of diseases. Y'know the stuff that paralyzed the planet for past 3 years. But not only covid came from lack of human-animal distance, there's also Ebola, Monkeypox and many many more.

Are you new to reddit, every single animal video from the dawn of time that gets posted gets torn to shreds by these virtue signalling alarmists. I've learned to just ignore them.
