True David, some folks need a little more than just talking to. Enforcing feeding bans is often an uphill battle, though more or our cities are trying.

Lock people up for feeding wildlife!? That's certainly not where I want my taxes to go. Frankly, I don't want my taxes going to teaching about wildlife in schools either.

You guys sure are generous with other folks money.

A simple ticket would get the point across I'm sure.

sgs, I give school talks for free, schools are always struggling to get free programs, wasn't looking for the govt. to use your tax money.

Sorry for the confusion, however tickets for feeding of wildlife when it causes bites, aggressive attacks and even death (the case wink mentioned),
yup, I believe folks should be ticketed at least, doubt any judge would lock someone up, out here you can rack up 15-20 DWI arrests and still be driving.

Feeding wiley coyote likely isn't high on the judges list of things to prosecute!

I like that. There are a lot of things I don't think the public school system should get involved in and this is one but it is the easiest place to influence a group of kids.

sqs, you don't even have to get the government involved. We've seen a lot of complexes, both apartment and condo, that forced the tenants to stop feeding or pay our bill. Sometimes I wish it wouldn't work but it does.

Yeah, I never charged for school talks either.

There you go. Hit 'em where it hurts. I've suggested that to a couple of customers myself.

I work in a school district and give organized talks and a lot of one on one talks with the adults. It's amazing how little even folks who live in the country know about wildlife.

After watching this video and hearing about hundreds of sheep dieing the schools best get a plan going like passing out 12ga shot guns to protect the kids when there out side the school . the kids at these schools know about wildlife and the wolves surely have no problem hunting the school grounds . Wolves need to fear man bottom line

I'm with you on that Pesky. With the situation shown in the video, I think it would be best to go ahead and kill those particular wolves. They obviously don't have the level of fear I'm talking about.

Aldo Leopold a fool? I am stunned, absolutely speechless.

lol...No, I was trying to get across that animals, all of them, have they're place, although I must admit that the usefulness of certain viruses and pests like chiggers and bedbugs does escape me. Just because nature developed them doesn't mean I want them around me or my family.

There's a place for wolves and the school playground isn't it.
