They tell you right on signs not to feed animals because they'll lose their hunting and foraging instincts and will rely on people. And when they don't get the food they need, they'll starve, having unlearned all that they knew. And it only takes a few generations for that to take hold.

I wonder if that relates to people at all. You just prop them up with money forever and hope the problem solves itself without doing anything about it. And when you teach them to do it for themselves, they fuck it up anyway and lose everything like that documentary Empire of Dust, where the asian dude from the "It's all so tiresome" meme comes from.
