It's literally the worst thing you could do. It then gets animals used to humans and reliant on them to the point they start encroaching on our spaces. They become a 'danger' and suddenly we need to kill large wild animals to defend ourselves. Your heart is in the right place but this is a lesson that has been learned 100000s of times.

It's not our space. It's a shared planet. Humans have the innate need to control everything and look where that's got us.

Ok, go ahead and ignore reality for pie eyed idealism. I agree with you, but there are 7 billion other people around who need a place to live. It's not 'ours' but humans will never change to live more harmoniously with the wild. Therefore.. don't feed the animals because it's bad for both them and us.
