Another entry to the case files of Dumb Stuff People Do With Animals:
While visiting Royal Gorge I saw people feeding what were, essentially, wild
deer. Not deer in a petting zoo, but does, fawns and even a couple of young
males that had wandered up and become accustomed to being fed. Park
officials should have discouraged that activity.
Bad practice around males, who become volatile and potentially lethal bucks
during the rut. Shore fishermen and hikers have been attacked without
provocation by rutting bucks. Those antlers ain't toys.
