The Animals WIll Be on Their Own!

As I watched five-hundred deer eat the hundred bushels of screenings I put out in the field for them, I wondered how many deer are still alive just because of this weekly "miracle" for the deer. How many of you have ever fed wildlife or watched wildlife brought to an area by being fed?
The ban on feeding wildlife
As the legislature season is upon us, one bill has had a lot of controversy. This bill is named SB2351. If this bill is passed, all wildlife feeding will have to cease. It was brought to attention by people that thought it was unethical to place bait out in front of their stand and wait for deer or other animals to come and eat the bait. Once the animal is at the bait, it is then harvested.
Doug Leier is a proponent to the bill. He doesn't necessarily believe it is unethical, but that it could spread diseases between animals. When food is placed out for animals in the winter, it can draw many different types of animals from many miles. When animals are bunched up together like that, diseases can spread like wild fire.
Many people think people are just out there baiting for hunting. According to Willard Swanke, a hunting guide in western North Dakota, there are many reasons a person could feed animals. He uses feed to keep deer away from his hay bales that he feeds his cows. Is that a wrong reason to feed animals? What about the handicap people that can't get out much to hunt? Is it wrong for them to bait? If this bill is passed, nobody will be able to feed animals whatsoever!
This topic has had many external publics, including Barnes County Wildlife Federation and the North Dakota Guides and Outfitters Association, holding meetings and sending out newsletters to let the public know their idea on the bill. The internal public can't really say much because the animals can't talk! What do you think the animals would say about baiting/feeding? I'm sure there would be mixed results. I'm sure some would love the feeding aspect but not the baiting aspect. After reading this, are you for feeding wildlife or do you think it should be banned?
Now back to that first question I asked. How many answered that they had never fed or watched any wildlife being fed? For those that said they hadn't, how many of you have seen a bird at the bird feeder? Or even put that bird feeder up? Will birds be the next thing we can't help in the winter?
