This is just patently inaccurate.Marchosias said:Only time wild animals wuld eat anything crappy, is vhen they are literaly starving and need something in theyr stomach to sustain them a litle longer.
While it is definitely not HEALTHY for animals to eat junk food, many do even when they are well-fed. A study showed a certain species of ants in Manhattan was eating enough junk food off the sidewalk to change their chemical makeup. Deer and many birds- sparrows, gulls, ducks, pigeons, among others- love bread, especially sweet bread, and birds in particular will approach humans or flock near restaurants and grocery stores just to beg for/steal scraps. The deer often die when the grain swells up and clogs their digestive tract. Land fills and garbage dumps are feeding grounds for many wild animals. Raccoons, foxes, coyotes, rats, and opossums steal from trash bins that aren't properly sealed and get obese off of food scraps.
And if you had clicked the link in my previous post, you would have seen that it was about farmers feeding shit like gummy worms to cows to fatten them up. Which was more the point: that humans feed their livestock sugary junk.
I've also seen domestic cats eat potato chips and domestic dogs eat... just about anything, including things most humans wouldn't put in their mouth. Feral and wild animals will eat corpses. Actually even domestic animals will eat their deceased owners after a couple of days, sometimes even when other food is available.
Picky eating is the learned behavior here. That comes from being able to choose your meals. Basically, that means your cat doesn't worry about missing a few meals because she knows you'll cave and give her what she wants before she ever starves to death.
Also: A preference for fish and meat over dried, processed cat food probably has more to do with how it tastes than anything else.
