On the approach to Todai-ji Temple

On the approach to Todai-ji Temple, a family of Asian tourists were doing terrible things to the deer.
The parents were making a noise with the bag containing sweets.
The deer came closer to them, thinking that they would get food.

Their child gave the deer a candy wrapper.
The deer thought it was food and tried to eat it, so I hastily pulled the wrapping paper away.

I vehemently protested to the family, but they didn’t seem to care.
It's too terrible to lure the deer and give them garbage instead.
