The standing bylaw prohibits the feeding of waterfowl on lands abutting or = adjacent to a lake or birds including waterfowl and pigeons on the lands ab= utting or adjacent to certain bodies of water. It does not prohibit feeding of any other wildlife. The amendment prohibits= any person from feeding or allowing the feeding of birds or any wildlife t= hat creates a nuisance to an owner or occupant of any property. Fines for violating the feeding portion of the bylaw will range from $200 t= o $5,000. The staff report says the intent of the amendment is to address situations = that are causing a negative impact to neighbours and neighbourhoods. The in= tent is not to impose an outright ban on the feeding of birds but to interv= ene when it becomes a nuisance. Bird feeders will be allowed to feed birds on property with owner permissio= n, but the nuisance it may create by attracting wildlife will be addressed = through the bylaw enforcement process. Similarly, prohibiting the feeding of wildlife is recommended to address is= sues that may cause a nuisance to an owner or occupant of any property. The staff report concedes that feeding wildlife is common for people to enj= oy the surroundings of their neighbourhood and their property by engaging a= nd entertaining wildlife and purposefully attracting them by providing food= . However, this enjoyment can be detrimental to wildlife and can lead to a nu= isance issue. Feeding wildlife can result in many negative impacts, such as= attracting vermin that can cause property damage like racoons and rats, at= tracting wildlife to the point of excessive defecation that causes property= damage, attracting wildlife such as deer that impacts traffic and negative= ly impacting the health and safety of the animals being fed, the staff repo= rt concludes. -30- ________________________________ From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca <naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca> on beha= lf of Andrew Stadnyk <Andrew.Stadnyk@Dal.Ca> Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2020 8:32:59 AM To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca <naturens@chebucto.ns.ca> Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Re: pending regulations on feeding wildlife Didn't know I could do this, here is a link: https://saltwire.pressreader.com/@Reader14326431/csb_r4JN0nHMvrZbK4-eMtpFMI= sX3o5lKC3elTnVrMRBF5q71chxYYTNMrPrBxXU4kkXwUNKtn1nAc3xuX8VquaSFw SaltWire E-Edition<https://saltwire.pressreader.com/@Reader14326431/csb_r4J= N0nHMvrZbK4-eMtpFMIsX3o5lKC3elTnVrMRBF5q71chxYYTNMrPrBxXU4kkXwUNKtn1nAc3xuX= 8VquaSFw> SaltWire E-Edition saltwire.pressreader.com ________________________________ From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca <naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca> on beha= lf of Richard Stern <sternrichard@gmail.com> Sent: April 28, 2020 8:18 AM To: NatureNS <naturens@chebucto.ns.ca> Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Re: pending regulations on feeding wildlife CAUTION: The Sender of this email is not from within Dalhousie.
