OMG.....
Yea, and most restaurant workers can get fired by not asking permission to take good but discarded food home to their kids.
It was a severe heat wave.
So "Sorry Kolala, you are going to die from dehydration." That is your logic?
Context of situation matters.
FYI paid animal rescuers do the same damned thing. If you have a wild animal on your property, dangerous or not, there are businesses that will trap and relocate that animal.
In fact last year, I had a baby turtle no more than an inch long, crawling through my yard. It was nowhere near any source of water. And it had crawled into my fenced in yard. If I had left it alone, it would have died. I brought it into my house, hydrated it, then a friend and I drove it to a water source and dropped it off.
If you are going to argue it it is not good to interfere with wildlife, I am not arguing that. But some conditions do not make it optimal to not interfere. I'd say a hot day over 100 degrees would change conditions.
This is an example of an asshole deserving charges. Not the women who merely gave water to a Koala.
This asshole pretended to feed a pelican then jumped on it as a stunt. That lady was not trying to do the same thing as this asshole.
