I feel like bears is the most obvious answer. In this scenario it would have started thousands of years ago. We’d have dozens/hundreds of breeds with different shapes,sizes and characteristics. What do you think would be the most interesting/cool?

    Sand Hills aren’t very afraid of humans anyway.

    Yes, that is the vulnerability that you are exploiting and making worse for an entire family of cranes.

    I’ve seen this story before. It usually ends in tragedy for the cranes. You’ve likely already seen the results with the loss of their chick. You blame it on a wild animal without proof, but it’s just as likely that the reduction of their fear response to humans (as a direct result of your “kindness”) led to their death.

      Like it or not, we have to share the world with them, so being kind to them isn’t being abusive or exploitive. I don’t feed them, chase them, bother them. But they are there in my environment, and I’m in theirs, and we are aware of each other, and get along. That’s all.
