Pardon my language, but I don't know what else to call them. I'm just really sick of attention whores, I see them everywhere I go- online, at school, in the general area I live in, I just can't see to get away from them and it really bothers me. -.-

Apparently there were Two rats in my garden.

I say were because it's unlikely one will return.

Little kids at the zoo that give pigeons some bread and try to plant their fork in them...

...Why are forks allowed to be carried throughout the zoo?

They were plastic forks given at the restaurant with the dishes.
They were eating at the exterior part so they threw bread of their meal at the pigeons and scared them. :/

Ah, I see. I hate people who throw food at animals in zoos repeatedly when there are signs like right next to their face in bold letters saying "Do not feed the animals". I would see this particularly at carnivore exhibits, saving pieces of meat from their meals and throwing them in because carnivores in zoos spend a large amount of time not really "interacting" with anything.

I would usually step in front of them or knock the food out of their hand and explain to them that people doing the same thing to animals in the wild is why people have bears breaking into their homes and ripping apart their fridges, or breaking into their cars when families go out for picnics. It lets them learn where easy meals come from until eventually when the food has run out or they can't get to us, they turn to us with our fragile selves and those same people want to cry about how evil animals are when it's your fault for the loss of life.

At Genova's aquarium, people kept throwing Coins in the crocodile exhibit.

In Hel Aquarium, one seal died from such coins. It was found out, that her stomach was fully filled with them. I don't know if such a thing exists at such a scale at other countries, but here almost all people throw a small value coin in a place they visit, usually in nearest water source, so they can come back to this place. The most frustrating is the fact, that they do not even believe in that - it's one of things most tourists do for the sake of tradition, dependless of how many signs saying "No!" are there (though there usuallly aren't any at places outside zoos and aquariums).

At Basel zoo there was a sign that said to not do so, but guess what was on the floor of the crocodile's exhibit...

the cause is dumb-*** superstition
there is no valid reason to throw coins in water with an animal
