Thank you for the interesting photo and story. However...

I'd discourge folks from feeding or befriending predators. If they become habituated to people they may aproach the wrong person for a hand-out and be perceived as possibly rabid. This may end in the injury or death of a healthy animal.

Feeding stations, like birdfeeders, can attract nuisance species like squirrells and rats (or bears...) that may learn where the food is stored. Sometimes they figure out how to help themselves. Occassionally this results in wild-life in your house so manage your charity carefully.

My 2 cents.
