'He's a friend but not a pet': Falconer flies trained, yet untame, Goshawk in semi-urban areas in Europe, faces recurring issues with people ignoring warnings in attempt to touch bird, risking injury and disrupting the hawk’s training

Not every animal is meant to be a pet, and even if wild animals have been trained by humans for years, there is no guarantee that their wild-sides won't run free…That is why it is so important to ensure keeping your distance from these types of animals, and if you really can't resist the urge to pet them or get close, make sure to check with its owner. They will likely have a good gauge of the animals current mood and body language…which needs to be examined before putting another person in possible danger!

This falconer is fed up with people allowing their children and animals to get too close to his bird, when he's clearly told them today is not his day…This isn't some yorkie whose not in the mood for cuddies, this is a wild animal whose moment of rage could leave severe consequences. 

So how do you deal with entitled people not taking no for an answer?
