Perpetuation of the victim mentality. All they are doing is introducing the very young in the area to the entitlements they will demand through violence the older they get.
Imagine you are in a sieged fortress with lions outside. The only way to keep them from storming the walls and killing everyone in a feeding frenzy is to feed them every day. Day in day out. When you stop, they aren’t going to remember how nice you were. And while you’re feeding them, you still can’t go outside unprotected because they will kill you for the fun of it. It is their nature, it is their way.
Get rid of the lions. Problem solved.
