The Green River City Council voted to adopt its new ban on feeding deer this past week even though a petition signed by those against the ordinance was handed to the Council. There was no public input at the meeting. Steven Pyles, City of Green River Public Affairs Specialist says the ordinance is pretty simple.
Pyles did point out that those who are obviously feeding birds and not deer would not be fined. According to wildlife officials, feeding deer tends to domesticate them which prevents them from learning to live in the wild. The law will take effect on May 1st. For more information, call 872-6133.
