You can talk to an alcoholic. You cannot talk to a wild animal. The animal does not realize that its habitat is actually an urban area with cars.

What do you think why cities don't like feral dogs running down their streets? Feral cats? Racoons? Rats? Pigeons?
Because they attack people, because they transmit diseases, because they rummage through garbage, because they shit everywhere.

Why do cities not mind squirrels? Because they stay on their fucking trees and out of trouble.

Here's an experiment you can try: Next time a toddler smears yoghurt on your carpet, treat him like you would treat a wild animal and respect his choice to do that.

Look, I'm not trying to be mean or to sound mean, but your stance is so romantic, it's no longer realistic.
