Under what conditions should one avoid interactions with wild animals, to ensure the safety of both people and animals?
user
One should always avoid interactions with wild animals, as this could be dangerous and lead to injury. The only exception would be if the animal is habituated to human presence and is interacting peacefully with people as part of an organized program supervised by experienced professionals, such as in a zoological park or a sanctuary. In all other cases, it is important to remember that wild animals can be unpredictable, so it is best not to approach them. Furthermore, one should never attempt to feed or handle any wild animal without proper training and experience, as this may cause them harm. Generally speaking, respecting the animal’s boundaries is paramount when it comes to maintaining safety when dealing with wildlife.

People should avoid interacting with wild animals under any of the following conditions: When the animal appears to be in distress, wounded, or sick; when it is too close for a safe distance; when it is attempting to protect its young or a feeding area; during mating season; during hibernation/brumation seasons; and whenever forbidden by local laws. Additionally, people should ensure that their interaction does not disrupt an animal's natural behaviors or habits. Interactions with wild animals may be unsafe depending on the species and situation so it is recommended to avoid any contact if you are unsure how to proceed.
