Tourist Etiquette

Kobi · 05-28-2011, 11:05 AM

I like to say some behavior is just because people dont think. I'm
not sure but I like to give people the benefit of the doubt before
I react to it.

Often times, I find people think everything is there for their amusement,
is a disney thing rather than a living thing or history, or is just something to take a photo of.

When it comes to wildlife, I have no patience for people being people.
Beachings of dolphins and whales is a big problem here. It is not for your enjoyment, or facebook page or something for you to gawk at. It is a lot of work to save as many of them as can be saved. And it is very ugly when they have to be euthanized. It would be really nice if people respected the life at stake.

Same with allowing your children to chase seagulls and other shorebirds. Or using standed sand sharks, snails, crabs and other living things as toys.

I really dont want to be the one to educate your kids or you on toys versus life. Nor do I appreciate your attitude when I do so. Perhaps you would prefer if I let something bite or mangle your kid....lord knows sometimes I wish they would....but common decency prevents me from doing so.

Why is this such a complicated concept for people?
