Tourism and Social Media idiocy around wild animals

[Infinite Chaos]

Hopefully this guy gets deported from Kenya after pouring lager down a trusting bull elephant's trunk but he's also gotten himself into rhino sanctuaries to feed them carrots for his social media account.

In a separate but second incident, a group of tourists asked for their vehicles to be parked in the path of migrating wildebeest - redirecting the herds back towards the Mara river which is full of crocodiles just waiting for tired, panicked animals to try and cross the river.

These idiots also posted footage of their activity on social media - sparking anger and outrage in Kenya.

Probably a MAGA American...

I’m more concerned about those who go out and shoot them for fun (I understand the ****ed up pro argument for that)

I can’t imagine much harm came to the elephant.

I've seen video of wild African animals getting intoxicated on fermented fruit but that's from foraging. It's more about the elephant being acclimatised to seeing random humans as a source for food / treats and then the danger of them wandering into a village for treats.

When wild animals associate people with food, bad things happen. These will be the same idiots then complaining about elephants acting aggressively when seeing people with canned beverages and the like. I don't understand this kind of stupidity, because I give animals the respect to leave them alone. When I'm out in nature I'd rather not have some wild animal come out and touch me, so I extend the same courtesy.

What if it was a rat rather than a elephant?

One should definitely not feed rats or try to pet wild ones.

I think I recognise the can as being Tusker Beer, so at least it's appropriate.
