Human-wildlife interaction
Human beings and animals have always exhibited a mixed reaction of co-existence. Wild animals react depending on the treatment accorded to them by man. Domestic animals are naturally easy to tame, thus well-mannered to co-exist with a man peacefully. As for wild animals, their level of aggressiveness has proven challenging to tame; thus, any interaction results in a conflict. This summary gives a brief illustration of wildcats and human interaction with the social and ecological systems, citing the factors each system has to the type of communication. Although the socio-ecological systems tend to co-relate, significant differences are noted.
Ecological system
Public policy
Wild cats are carnivores, and most states require that they remain under maximum and strict restrictions. Thus at this level, the interaction is peaceful. Most of the feral cats, for example, lions are state treasures; therefore, strong policies govern their safety.
Community
Unless the Wildcats are in-game parks or reserves, their accessibility to the public is limited. Attendants control visits to these sites; thus, the interaction in most cases is positive.
Interpersonal
Influence from family members and friends may foster weak interaction. For example, if one friend narrates a story to others of previous traumatic experience, it creates a constant fear, thus negatively influencing future communications.
Individual
Direct human interaction happens between game wardens and animals. With time, the animals tend to familiarize themselves with the care providers creating a good relationship. It takes an individual with a positive attitude to relate well with a wild animal.
