and shows only ignorance towards animals.

I mean...yeah? Most people are ignorant of things like this because they don't know any better. I can't be particularly upset at some random park goer that doesn't know all the nutritional needs of a duck, because why would I assume that's knowledge they would have? Feeding ducks bread is sort-of ingrained in the public mind, it will take education and time to undo that.

I've seen signs up at some parks lately that explain this to people, and that's a start, but they need to be more widespread, and it will take time.

Showing compassion to strangers and not assuming ill will? Sir the Internet is going to have to ask you to leave. /S
