    and shows only ignorance towards animals.

    I mean…yeah? Most people are ignorant of things like this because they don’t know any better. I can’t be particularly upset at some random park goer that doesn’t know all the nutritional needs of a duck, because why would I assume that’s knowledge they would have? Feeding ducks bread is sort-of ingrained in the public mind, it will take education and time to undo that.

    I’ve seen signs up at some parks lately that explain this to people, and that’s a start, but they need to be more widespread, and it will take time.
