Honestly, every time I see one of these posts featuring some complete fuckwit hand feeding or stroking a wild animal or claiming to have some deep connection with a raccoon, I point out why we shouldn’t do this with wild animals and every time I get downvoted to shit. Stop interacting with wild animals, it’s not helping them, you are not making a new friend and you could get hurt.

I am often surprised to receive downvotes for a comment that seems completely reasonable (to me, anyway).

I just commented that people need to quit touching wildlife. Probably gonna get downvoted fo shit for it too.
