Feeding wild animals might make them think that humans will help them.

In a world where not all humans are kind and generous, well-intentioned humans might be putting wildlife in danger by being kind and generous.
Wild animals can learn whether humans are trustworthy based on their own experiences. Different humans act differently towards animals and this can put them at risk of trusting the wrong humans.
When we feed wild animals, it feels nice for us, and it's a good thing.
Goumas says that humans show different individual behaviours towards other species.
