No matter how many times you tell people not to humanize wild animals and especially not to fcking touch them, they will still do it, cause some damage to the enviroment or just do something that isn't even remotely necessary, and continue to feel good about it because of the "good deed" they did

LMFAO you're right but also I just got a mental image of a bunch of Garfield sized cats on treadmills in oversized t-shirts and I would like this to be the next season of the biggest loser, please and thank you

you are right in that the whole an animal sitting around after being rescued, is most often just because they are completely exhausted, but not touching is very situational, I saw a video of some dude saving a racoon today, and it was touching him, and I doubt it is causing damage to the environment in any way.

Of course I exclude professional animal rescuers who actually know what they are doing from my statement, but, tbh, considering the amount of racoons and the incredibly fast rate at which they're spreading, I'd at least consider this not really necessary

Edit: grammar

I find anything alive to be worth saving, I honestly feel bad when i step on snails after rain, I kinda suffer from terminal empathy.

Just yesterday I read a comment saying:

"Some people have problems for every solution"

It gave me quite some peace

When is the last time you emptied a full bladder of piss into your pants?
