why should we not distrub animals

Answer:
Many of you might have heard of the several tragic stories surrounding animals within zoos, in the forest or on the beach.
Nothing good can come from getting too up close and personal with a wild animal, even if they are completely harmless like a harbor seal pup. Late last month, a harbor seal pup was taken from the shore of Washington Beach in a recycled tote bag by a beachgoer. Instead of doing the sensible thing and buying a stuffed toy seal, she decided to scoop one up on the beach and tote it home. To her dismay, she then had no idea how to care for the animal. Sadly, the seal soon became unresponsive and it ended up getting euthanized by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
How can we prevent such a horrendous, as well as illegal, mistake from happening once more? Well, it is simple. You look, but don't touch.
It is the same concept we were told when we were children in a china shop; look, but don't touch. It is also a concept that we were taught when we were around wild birds, or any bird really since we were told that they could be dirty or have diseases. If only we could instill that mentality into our brains now, it would not only protect the animal but us as well.
Here are a few reasons why it will help protect both parties:
You still get to admire it, just from a distance. Trust me, it will be just as exciting as seeing it a few meters closer, just without the possibility of getting hurt, harming another creature, doing something illegal or all of the above. Secondly, you don't have to worry about contracting any diseases since you are not close enough to have it breathe on you or have it touch you. Thirdly, you will not have projectile vomit flying at you or any other projectiles, if that animal is sick for any reason.
