If there are no consequences then it is de facto permitted. If the consequence is a fine, well, a fine is a price. Vandalism on this scale SHOULD have consequences.

Deer, seals, the whole bunch... People will willfully ignore signage and instructions for a photo.
This is also wildlife crime.
The only thing for it is wardens, fines, and a culture of shaming those who believe they should be allowed to approach, feed, or pick up wildlife for fun.

Absolutely dystopian juxtaposition from the Guardian front page. Difficult to understand how anyone of decency and conscience can defend this government at this point. Just sheer moral degeneracy to arm a state that does this and arrest people for objecting. Wtf are we doing as a country?
