Quote by Edwin Way Teale

Those who wish to pet and baby wild animals 'love' them. But those who respect their natures and wish to let them live normal lives, love them more.

Those who wish to pet and baby wild animals 'love' them. But

Summary

This quote emphasizes that true love for wild animals means respecting their natural instincts and allowing them to live freely, rather than attempting to tame or domesticate them. It suggests that the desire to care for wild animals by treating them like pets or babies may actually diminish their quality of life, as they are denied the opportunity to engage in natural behaviors and experience the fullness of their existence. True love entails acknowledging their needs and allowing them to thrive according to their wild nature.
