Putting don't feed the animals in perspective
 
Quote:
The Food Stamp Program, administered by the
U.S. Department of Agriculture, is proud to be distributing, this year, the
greatest amount of free meals and food stamps ever, to 46 million
people.

Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S.
Department of the Interior, asks us "Please Do Not Feed the Animals." Their
stated reason for the policy is because "The animals will grow dependent on
handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves."

Humans are another form of animal...I like it! LOL

I don't believe that is an accurate quote of the parks department.

Actually, that may not be a verbatim NP quote, but the reasoning is partially correct. The other portion of course is that when animals lose their fear of humans they come into more contact with them and more humans get eaten. Not good PR for the NPS.

Is the point of the quoted comments that you and your friend would like to see 46 million people die of starvation :confused::confused::confused:

They're not going to starve! They're all lazy and just need a kick in the pants, even those who are old and infirm, or maybe have serious illness. We just need to break them from their couch-sitting, Oprah-watching, bon-bon-noshing bad habits.

Food stamp recipients = animals.
We get it.

This rightwing hatred of the poor originated on Raging Bull, it then got posted to FaceBook, where it went viral among the floundering tea baggers.
There is no indication anywhere that any Park Service warning sign about feeding wildlife has the quoted wording.
Just more hate filled email forwards sent by "a friend".

To be followed up with the usual "well I don't care if it's true or who wrote it I agree with it."
Yeah. We know.

Everybody knows they all drive Escalades and have iPhones. Jeez

100 Million Dollars of food stamps redeemed by military families.

Those gold-bricking freeloaders....:rolleyes:

Some folks are so caught up in their preconceived notions of who poor people are, that they end up 5hitting on the very people that they claim to honor.
Sad.

To be fair the food stamp program is extremely corrupt.

If the park service didn't say it then it can't be true.

Definition of "extremely corrupt" please?

Our ongoing work includes looking at FNS’ methodologies for determining its rate of SNAP trafficking (which it estimates at 1 percent) and its rate of improper payments (estimated at about 3.8 percent).
