People throwing bread out of their houses

So I was on the bus the otherday, going through Crumlin when I spotted some woman throwing four loaves bread outside her house into her front garden. Although it wasn't much of a garden tbh. But it's not the first time I've seen it before. In Ballyfermot there's a street that I can't remember the name of where my grandparents used to live. There was a small green in the area facing all these houses on the street and people used to throw bread(Sometime other leftovers) onto the green. Now I know it's mainly done to feed the birds and maybe some other animals rather then waste the food by throwing it in the bin, but am I the only one who finds this appalling? It's kind've sickening passing this green and seeing people's leftover bread lying on the grass that's proberly been there for a day or something. It's like littering and I feel it's pretty sad tbh that people would do this on a contant basis. What are other people's opinions on this?

Well first of all, it encourages others to do it, if others do it then it just becomes a nuisance of everyone doing it. Do people really want to be going through these areas seeing bread lying around the place that might not even be eaten in a day.

Secondly it attracts rodents, like any food source would. I don't think people want to have that kind've thing happening otherwise who knows what might happen.

Finally, as I said it's like littering. Should people throw their rubbish all over the place as well? because i'm sure the birds and other animals will pick through whatever they can from people's rubbish as well. Dosen't mean it would be a good thing.
