It was also learning how to eat from the residents on the island and to become fearless of people at this young age already as I witnessed a woman hand-feeding the deer over a fence from her backyard. She was unconcerned that feeding the deer is strictly prohibited and that it is bad for their health. I wonder if she will feel the same way when the islands’ enforcement will show up (up to a $500 fine). I heard her calling the deer by name!
