Subject: Re: [Tweeters] Feeders discouraged
The headline and the body of the article seem to carry different messages.
The main text says nothing about birdfeeders being discouraged, only that
ANY feeder that attracts deer, elk or moose is also illegal, even if they
aren't the intended species. This change to the law is about trying to slow
or halt the spread of chronic wasting disease in ungulates, nothing to do
with birds.
