Do not feed the animals
The prohibition "do not feed the animals" reflects a policy forbidding the artificial feeding of wildlife (wild or feral animals) in situations where the animals, or the people doing the feeding, might be harmed. Signs displaying this message are commonly found in zoos, animal theme parks, aquariums, national parks, parks, public spaces, and other places where people come into contact with wildlife.〔Nigel Rothfels, ''Savages and Beasts: The Birth of the Modern Zoo'', JHU Press, 2008, ISBN 0801898099, p. 35.〕〔 In some cases there are laws to enforce such no-feeding policies.〔NOAA Public Affairs, (DO NOT FEED OR INTERACT WITH HAWAIIAN MONK SEALS ), 30 January 2004, accessed 24 June 2013.〕
In zoos, giving food to the animals is discouraged due to the strict dietary controls in place.〔Darill Clements, ''Postcards from the Zoo'', HarperCollins Australia, 2010.〕 More generally, artificial feeding can result in, for example, vitamin deficiencies and dietary mineral deficiencies. Another motivation is the concern that animals will become accustomed to ingesting foreign objects and might later ingest something harmful. Outside zoos, a concern is that the increase in local concentrated wildlife population due to artificial feeding can promote the transfer of disease among animals or between animals and humans.〔 Feeding can also alter animal behavior so that animals routinely travel in larger groups, which can make disease transmission between animals more likely.〔Frederick R. Adler and Colby J. Tanner, ''Urban Ecosystems: Ecological Principles for the Built Environment'', Cambridge University Press, 2013, ISBN 0521769841, (p. 210. )〕 In public spaces, the congregation of animals caused by feeding can result in them being considered pests.〔 Artificial feeding can also lead to animals aggressively seeking out food from people, sometimes resulting in injury.〔
==Zoos==
Zoos generally discourage visitors from giving any food to the animals.〔 Some zoos, particularly petting zoos, do the opposite and actively encourage people to get involved with the feeding of the animals.〔Devra G. Kleiman, Katerina V. Thompson, and Charlotte Kirk Baer, ''Wild Mammals in Captivity: Principles and Techniques for Zoo Management'', 2nd ed., University of Chicago Press, 2010, ISBN 0226440117, (p. 140. )〕 This, however, is strictly monitored and usually involves set food available from the zookeepers or vending machines, as well as a careful choice of which animals to feed, and the provision of hand-washing facilities to avoid spreading disease.〔Paul A. Rees, ''An Introduction to Zoo Biology and Management'', Wiley, 2011, (p. 306. )〕 Domestic animals such as sheep and goats are often permitted to be fed,〔 as are giraffes.〔
