ORDINANCE #2002:1991-18. Feeding of Certain Wild Waterfowl and Animals ProhibitedNo person shall feed, cause to be fed or provide food for wild geese, ducks, white-tailed deer, stray cats, bears, coyotes and other wild animals anywhere in the Township, either on public or private property. ******NJARA supports a prohibition on the feeding of bears, coyotes and certain other wildlife, however we are not supportive of a prohibition on feeding stray cats (in well-managed cat colonies) and certain wildlife.In our opinion, this ordinance is far too

broad.
