I live near a farm and I always feed chocolate to the horses. They seem to like it.
So sad, and infuriatingly the culprits will most likely pretend their ignorance hasn’t caused this.
Oh no! That sucks. I got some photos of Callum when I was in Torridon. He was being fed by a lady in a motor home at the time.
Fucking hell, that was a bit over the top. Did the hen party go okay, at least?
He was not a celebrity, he was a wild animal. One that was kept alive well after nature would’ve reclaimed him to the earth, due to being fed shite by well intentioned but ultimately ignorant people. He looked like a bag of bones in a threadbare hessian sack by the end, and his culling was a mercy to him. One that was considered, agreed, and carried out by actual experts.
This is what happens when humans name and anthropomorphise a wild animal for social media clout.
It’s fine to be sad, but anyone who actually opposes the humane euthanasia of an animal clearly in such poor condition doesn’t truly care for it.
This is locals taking a guess at why he died.
Headlines try to gloss over that as if he was poisoned by a croissant at the weekend.
People who wanna claim that feeding animals isnt a big deal need to read this.
The headline had me picturing something entirely different…
Absolute cunts honestly
**If it’s not your animal – do not feed it.**
In this case it’s a bit debatable if that was the exact COD but it’s important to highlight this issue and try to convince the entitled people who just feed random animals.
If you think it’s starving to death, like it’s in VERY bad shape – contact a vet/RSPCA/organisation that controls the park.
Leave feeding to the owners/professionals.
You may make an animal sick or even die – even if you think you know what you’re doing.
Google non croissants
My other half is a ranger for the Poolewe/Inverewe/Corrieshalloch region. (Area beside Ben Eighe where this stag resided)
The amount of backlash she gets from the public when she advises them not to feed the wildlife is unreal.
A lot of people get really defensive when they think their actions are getting called out.
I’m all for people enjoying nature, and I think it’s good for us… I’m looking forward to my 3 days in Wales more than I did my 7 days in Majorca.
It’s 100% good for us and it makes an impact on my mental health, but don’t let your experience effect the nature itself. That includes feeding nature shit they don’t eat.
Am I the only person who is pissed off that the Stag is referred to as “it”? He’s a sentient being, and male. He hasn’t chosen another gender as far as we know, he’s got antlers and bollocks, so he’s a he. People who refer to animals as “it”, aren’t animal lovers.
I’m not a veggie or vegan before anyone jumps on the anti whatever bandwagon, but I do love and empathise with animals. My springer spaniel has a higher ranking in my house than me and quite rightly so,he’s far more intelligent. And he’s definitely not an “it”.
R.I.P. 😔
I didn’t know James Corden was supposed to be getting married.
