It is usually advisable to avoid contact with an animal if they are sick, as this can transmit disease to humans. It's also important to steer clear of animals that have a history of aggression, as this could be a risk to your safety. Other instances where contact should be avoided include while the animal is eating or nesting and whenever necessary precautions such as proper handling guidelines aren't in place. It’s always best to assess the situation and consider the consequences before engaging or interacting with a wild or exotic animal.

If an animal is visibly sick, if it has a history of aggression towards people or other animals, or if it actively tries to avoid you then it is best to steer clear and give them their space.
