do not feed the animals [ii]

By Shawn Delgado From Issue No. 8

It is not natural. Their migrations are delicate, Their habitats, moreso. You are disrupting their grazing habits. Your bread is poison inside them. Our food is scarce. They will forget to hunt. They are an invasive species. It ruins the instincts of the young. Their bellies are never satisfied. They might love you. They don’t know when to stop. There will be a plague if their prey go unchecked. They will abandon their gods. They will not leave. They will return.
