For their own Wellfare - Please Do Not Feed the Wildlife - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Protect animals and promote responsible human behaviour in natural or semi-natural areas. Feeding wildlife can disrupt their natural foraging habits, cause nutritional problems, spread disease, increase aggressive behaviour, and make animals dependent on humans. This sign educates visitors about the negative consequences of feeding animals while providing a clear, polite instruction to stop such behaviour.

This sign should be placed in parks, nature reserves, wildlife sanctuaries, forest trails, picnic areas, and other locations where people may encounter wild animals. It is particularly effective near areas where food is commonly brought, such as picnic benches, campsites, or lakesides, ensuring visitors see the message before attempting to feed the animals. Proper placement helps reduce animal-human conflicts and protects both wildlife and visitors.

The wording “For Their Own Welfare” emphasizes that the instruction is for the benefit of the animals rather than a restriction for humans, appealing to visitors’ sense of responsibility and empathy. “Please Do Not Feed the Wildlife” provides a clear and polite directive, making it more likely that people will comply. The combination of education and instruction helps raise awareness and reinforces positive behaviour in natural environments.

Overall, using this sign helps conserve wildlife health, prevents human-wildlife conflicts, and maintains the natural behaviour of animals. It is an important tool for environmental management, ensuring that public areas remain safe, enjoyable, and sustainable for both animals and visitors.
