Now stop coming to my inbox telling me I’m horrible. Animals will survive. California is always having some sort of crisis (fire) which means wildlife is always affected. So it isn’t “just one time” that you are putting out water. We regularly have fires in my area and I always see that dumb post going around. I have close proximity to many animals and know that it isn’t good to give food or water to wildlife. It is negative in the long run. A simple Google search is all you need.
