Furano is surrounded by nature and is home to many wild animals. Wild animals are meant find their own food in nature. Feeding wild animals reduces their ability to find food on their own. This disrupts the natural ecosystem. Human food is not suitable for wild animals and can cause them problems. Furthermore, animals entering and leaving human living areas can lead to the spread of infectious diseases such as echinococcosis.

Feeding wild animals increases the likelihood of them approaching humans, causing damage to agricultural products, and even traffic accidents. They may also lose their fear of humans and become aggressive.

So, look. Enjoy. But please do not feed wild animals!
