What the paper says

This case study focuses on the unknown risks and harm of wildlife supplementation due to misinterpreting the perceived relationship between humans and wildlife. Arizonian resident Lisa Williams is observed as a victim of these misconceptions after being killed by an Elk she attempted to feed. The cause of these misconceptions is explained through the lens of Social Exchange Theory. In addition, possible solutions to deter wildlife supplementation are introduced.
