A. CO0735-25b Incorporated County of Los Alamos Ordinance No.02-373; Public Hearing and Consideration of Ordinance No. 02-373 - Amending Chapter 6, Article I of the County Code to add Section 6-21 Prohibiting the Feeding of Wild Animals.
I support the ordinance, but I think there should be some more clarification about what constitutes feeding. My patch of lawn grass on which deer graze? My crabapple tree from which deer, gophers, and mice feed? Others' fruit trees (deer, bears), lawns, gardens, and trees/shrubbery themselves? Those are certainly feeding wildife, if slightly indirectly, but certainly wilfully if one waters or fertilizes those plants.
I support the proposed ordinance prohibiting the feeding of wild animals. It is straightforward and uncomplicated, and appears to address all of the reasonable concerns that were raised about the previous draft. I fear that some people might raise objections to this version simply because they are not be reading it closely enough.
