Make The Feeders Clean Up The Poop
-
In one town, they're making feeding wild animals a crime punishable by three months in jail. In another, the neighbors want a guy who feeds birds to stop, because he's feeding them by the truckload -- literally, he has truckloads of seed delivered, and serves up 5 gallons of cornmeal a day -- and is bringing hundreds of geese, seagulls, etc. to the neighborhood, where they dump all over everything. In both cases, people who think they're being kind to animals are only making things worse for them -- the wild animals become dependent on the feed and lose their ability to fend for themselves -- while creating a poopy nuisance.
