Feral Cats Feeding Ban

Yes, and unfortunately there are people like my old neighbor everywhere, you can't force them to do the responsible thing. They truly think they are being responsible by leaving food out for the poor cats.

Often people just truly don't know. Birdbaths are often diseased, birdfeeders interfere with the natural feeding patterns of birds. Animals become dependent on this and their whole system becomes off kilter by eating foods they normally would not eat.

There are people here who feed the deer. What they are doing is having them killed as the deer cross the highway to come get the food. Not to mention the harm it could do to the person / property hitting the deer. When people feed animals it teaches them to trust man, and that is not always a good thing for the animal.

It's not just the cats who have a problem.
