Colorado Parks and Wildlife sent out a PSA on their Twitter account recent warning people of what happens when you feed big-game wildlife.
Specifically, deer.
The tweet says "More on this and why feeding wildlife is selfish, unethical, unlawful and dangerous."
On their website in a press release, it said, "One incident occurred in the Burland Ranchettes Subdivision of Bailey where a homeowner was feeding deer in his yard and the deer would rush towards the resident from surrounding properties when he was outside. A second act was by an Evergreen resident who was luring deer into her home where she would feed them human food that you can see here in this video. "
The video below shows the deer eating carrots and bananas from a table in the woman's home.
The press release said "Wildlife officers contacted both parties and charges were filed. Violations for feeding big-game wildlife can result in a $100 fine per occasion of feeding, plus mandatory surcharges."
