Wild animals in the Harz: Holidaymaker warns against feeding foxes in Rotacker!
The Harz is a popular destination for many holidaymakers during the holiday season, and a family from Rotacker (Hasselfelde) recently experienced a very special encounter there. During their stay, they observed a curious fox strolling through their holiday home complex. The holidaymaker shared this unforgettable encounter in a Facebook group in the Harz region and received a lot of attention. In particular, dissatisfaction with neighbors who had fed the wild animal caused a lively discussion. Many commentators supported her view that feeding wild animals is not good because it disrupts the animals' natural habits and accustoms them to humans, as news38.de reported.
When discussing how to deal with wild animals, the question often arises as to whether feeding really makes sense. In the Harz Mountains there are numerous opportunities to observe wild animals without actively feeding them. For example, special feeding events take place in various facilities, such as the forest restaurant “Rehberger Grabenhaus” in Sankt Andreasberg, which are particularly popular with young and old. However, you should definitely reserve a seat here. For all those who are interested in lynxes, there is regular lynx feeding at the Rabenklippen, and the Marienteichbaude invites you to feed wild animals all year round, which shows that contact with wild animals can also be designed differently, like hahnenklee.de explained.
