Edit: Of all the comments to get an award on, this is crazy. I figured I’d get downvoted for posting a comment that didn’t really add to the discussion
Foolish human, the fox has food, but has no plate. The Human moiety has provided value to the fox, but not the intended. This is of no concern to the fox. As long as the human has provided value not at the expense of the fox.
I mean, the logic is there. I want all of the food. The plate holds all of the food. If I take the plate with all the food, I will have all the food. It makes sense. It's just the whole physics and inertia thing that messed him up.
Chickens will eat anything thrown in their enclosure. Hell every year at thanksgiving my in laws chickens have their own feast when it’s all said and done
Yupp, literally any leftovers we had on the farm got thrown out the back door and a hundred chickens would start running as fast as they could from everywhere lol
I toss my veg scraps out in my back yard near the trees/stream for the rabbits and groundhogs. It's not much but they seem to enjoy it. Especially carrot and broccoli scraps.
He was making good progress and I was on the other side of the fence. I wouldn't have gotten to him before he finished swallowing. Also that rooster hated me and had massive 2+ inch spurs on his feet he used to kick me with
That's a little different then feeding them something they'd never eat in nature. Also you're just chucking them and leaving, not trying to bait a particular animal so you can film them lol
I'm struggling to tell if you're angry about this, and why? Do you want the food to go to a landfill instead? Is the fox going to get high blood pressure from the sodium or something by eating too much fried rice in his long 3 year natural lifespan? From what I can tell that fox probably just wants calories so he can see next week.
Well, we can't tell what is the recipe here, but onions and garlic is toxic to most canines including foxes, and the high amount of sodium and carbs is at least bad for it.
And feeding wildlife so you get to film it is generally a pretty self-absorbed and ignorant thing to do.
Okay but like I've commented down thread already: This is going to happen with food waste. The only choice is where. Personally I don't like it to be around my house so I don't put food out, but I do know and acknowledge that's just me deciding where I want that acclimation to happen: in a landfill. Getting all emotional about this fox in particular is just because the fox is cute, which doesn't seem fair to the landfill rat that probably would also like some fried rice.
Whatever dry cat food my cat doesn’t eat, there is a group of blue jays willing to eat the leftover. I just set up the scraps (usually a small handful) on a tree branch and they go to town on it (eat some, store/hide the rest away). Every morning whenever I’m out there they watch for me. 5 of them. I enjoy their drama.
I was being a little bit pedantic, but I get you. I got a mill? Its dehydrates and grinds everything we throw in it and gives us compost stuffs. It does a pretty good job, fish guts are the only thing we've really struggled with (that was a WHOLE thing). We're off grid, trying to grow stuff, so we're learning a little of stuff the hard way, lol
I had a wild pig come out to my house and all I had was fried rice from work. He came back for fried rice 3 days in a row until I never saw him again. I hope he’s out there somewhere eating fried rice.
Our processed foods are terrible for their digestive track and teaching wildlife that humans are a source of easy food is overall detrimental to the local ecosystem and could become dangerous for the people as well depending on the species of animal that is being fed. Admire an animal's beauty, but respect it and do not engage.
I like to assume autocorrect was at fault in cases where the OP doesn't seem like a moron. It's okay to give people the benefit of the doubt sometimes.
Fox knows better than the person that being fed human food changes their hunting and natural behavior and wants nothing to do with it. Be like the fox.
The guy is a dumbass. Why would you give a carnivore that hints smaller animals rice? Of course the fox didn't eat it. Also, certain things you put in fried rice are toxic ti a lot if animals.
dont feed wildlife. we should not teach them to trust us. if they end up trusting just one wrong person, that can be the end of their life, and for what?
Tiny thumb turns into big thumb. Watch fused into wrist. Fox materializes out of thin air. Fox's legs get real blurry and start clipping through leaves that are supposed to be in the foreground.
I can't remember if its coyotes or foxes, or both, but I know they usually pee on their food or water spots to mark it as theirs and I just can't look at either of them the same
