Killed By Kindness
-
A beloved otter at Bays Mountain Park in Kingsport, TN is dead. Who killed Otto? Apparently, park visitors who fed him food he couldn't tolerate. And this happens all the time: Well-meaning but stupid people feed wild animals and birds without consideration of the consequences, from giving the animals food they shouldn't eat to making the animals dependent on them for food, destroying the critters' ability to fend for themselves in the wild. Leave wild animals alone. They've survived millennia out there without you feeding them. (Kingsport Times-News)
