(90,785 posts)Still feel the same way though. Some people are good at coexisting. Some people aren't.
I still favor the critters.

(13,880 posts)The well manicured, predator-free park filled with tame deer was created, and is maintained, by people and their respect for their "sacred" deer. (According to Wikipedia, the deer are no longer officially considered "sacred" ). That environment would not exist absent the actions of people.
As far as a preference for photos and videos of the critters with or without people, I tend to agree with you.

(90,785 posts)incredibly happy for the other critters getting a small taste of freedom away from us.
I think maybe some miss us being around. Some don't.
I don't know.
