Avoid feeding the animals

While it may be tempting to feed wild animals like deer and elk, it's best not to.

  • Many foods, such as bread, pasta and leftovers, are harmful to animals and can cause them serious digestive problems.
  • Wild animals find their own food in the wild and human food can disrupt their natural eating habits.
  • Feeding wild animals can make them less shy and create habits that bring them closer to humans and settlements.
  • It can also attract pests like rats and mice.
