Animals Invade Cities As People Quarantine Themselves At Home
1.3Mviews
As quarantines roll out in a number of countries, people often bury themselves in movies, social media drama or a good book. While taking a walk outside is encouraged by some governments (as long as a distance from other people is maintained), a lot of people completely forget about the outer world. Well, nature, however, does its thing nonetheless and people are noticing an unexpected outcome of the quarantine. In countries like Japan, Italy, and Thailand, people observed animals roaming the streets due to human absence.
Like in Japan, where deer that are local to Nara Park were observed taking to the streets in search of food. Usually, the park is swarming with tourists, as the Sika deer living there are a local attraction. Tourists would usually buy crackers sold at the park meant specifically to feed the deers, however as the number of visitors plummeted in recent weeks, the deer seem to have no choice but to wander out of their territory to find something to munch on.
People in Nara, Japan reported seeing deer that usually stay in the park roam out onto the streets

Plenty of photos and videos of the deer roaming the streets of Nara emerged, with people responding either in shock or awe. Twitter user okadennis who posted a number of shots of the deer reported finding the whole occasion amusing.

Naturally, the country with over 30k cases and a severe lockdown in place, Italy, also observed a similar phenomenon. Numerous accounts of various animals (like sheep, boars and a horse!) wandering the streets appeared on Italian social media. Most of the people who posted their observances were pretty amused with the situation despite the tedious circumstances surrounding it.

Another Italian reported another animal on the loose: “In my hometown, a random horse appears”

Well if it weren't for us they'd have a bigger home and better food to eat but we took up their space
Very true!
Yep!! 👍🏻👏🏻😃
Well, 'their' space... I agree humans are invasive though humans are animals too. We used to be monkeys. Some of us still are!
People are animals with somehow larger brains (and some are actually using them) so why not curb human population and urban sprawl, for our own sake.... and animals'.
Humans are a pest can not believe people do not get it that the world is killing itself cos of human overpopulation
And it has starting in the most populous country- China...

And the evils weren't satisfied killing all the 4 legged animals, now they rae trying to kill us 2 legged ones too. Make NO mistake, this is a pre-planned attack. Study 5G the weapon & how they are rushing to put it everywhere for various reasons including killing us off. This is just one reason why they want us off the streets. The CV is NOT a pandemic. It's something they created similar to the cold or flu, that hasn't killed nearly as many people as they "claim" or even how many the flu kills every year. As China said, Vit C got people well within a few days. Ask yourself why & how the ENTIRE world gov'ts managed to organize this lockdown on such short notice? Why they are collapsing the economy worldwide? Why we are on house arrest & if you aren't now, just give it a week or two. Why they are sneaking in 5G into all the schools in the US. And I'm sure they are sneaking it into other pubic spaces too.
Oh ffs loonies like you spreading misinformation is as bad as the flipping virus!!! Viruses happen, it's nature, not a conspiracy *facepalm*
Wasn't there a cable channel show about what cities would look like if humans weren't there?

Thanks. I don't have a television.
I always like the scene in I Am Legend...where Will Smith's character is hunting in a corn patch in NYC, he starts tracking the deer..until lions appear out of nowhere and take the deer down. He respectfully backs off and lets them have it.
What's there to like, Carol?
I was thinking of the same show.
On you tube..I saw it
The one I saw was done by National Geographic and it's over 10 years old so not sure if you can still find it. It was very enlightening. It is called AFTER HUMAS.
Someone else just posted it above ^^ Copied & pasted their link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_After_People
It's a wonderful "documentary", sad but positive at the same time.
You can watch it on your computer.
I have it on DVD!
I feel sorry for monkeys
