S1E15: 1.15 - Why Not To Feed Wildlife - May 21, 2021

from Colorado Outdoors - the Podcast for Colorado Parks and Wildlife

Don't feed wildlife, that is a statement we preach 365 days a year. We want our wildlife to be wild, these animals are not pets. We are all for people caring for wildlife and wanting to do something to help, but what people may not know is when they put food out for wildlife that is harmful to them in many ways. It is also illegal to feed big game in Colorado and there are human safety risks that come when people feed wildlife. In this episode of Colorado Outdoors we discuss the topic with our wildlife pathologist and a wildlife officer from the Castle Rock region.

We encourage people to observe wildlife and to be happy to be in a place filled with abundant wildlife and beautiful scenery. It's just very harmful to wildlife when people feed them food out of their natural diet. We want our wildlife to be wild, these animals are not pets.
